Every now and then some acne pops up back there, but I have noticed some near the tops of my shoulders.

I used to have the worst acne ever on my back. I couldn't wear tank tops or put my hair up, over tme it started to heal... I can't even remember if it stopped from when I started BCPs or not...
I had terrible itchy acne on my back, not facial so much, when specialist indicated some 10 years ago that I had PCOS - I went on the pill and that helped me. So, 10 years on, off the pill, mid thirties and ttc and I get acne on my face, my backs fine....it's just hormonal I'm afraid!!!
MY bf does and I bought him some Neutrogena Clear Body Wash and a soft bristled long handled body brush. When he uses it for two days in a row it clears up pretty nice. Now he doesn't do it all the time cause he's male and is bad about using a girly body brush but it works when he does. Of course he doesn't have PCOS and it may just be because he's washing that area when he otherwise wouldn't. Men and their 2 minute showers!

Let me join this club.....I have battled it for years. I have tried a ton of stuff. I'm going back to my dermatologist at the start of May to see if there are any new things on the market.
I hate it - makes me so self conscience!!!

I do! It's awful. It cleared up nicely for the 12 years I was on BCPs, but now it's back. They're big and cystic and painful. I found that rinsing conditioner from my hair with my head upside-down helps b/c then the conditioner can't clog the pores ... but now I get l little pimples on my forehead instead.
I started using those exfoliating gloves to really scrub the skin which helps a lot, particularly in the summer.
I'd love to hear any and all tips!

I get horrible acne, mostly whiteheads and blackheads, which are so hard to get rid of unless you can turn your head to the back!!
I have started filling a little bowl with table salt (the finer the better), adding some light olive oil, enough to moisten it, and then add a couple of drops of essential oil, like lavender, bergamot or tea tree. Massage it in, or get someone else to do it, on a regular basis. It really helps.
I am exactly the same, i get them on my shoulders and back!! i hate it, the only time they disappear is when it is summer time and i am sunbathing. They tend to dry out and then they go.
Whenever AF is about to arrive, i get the spots really bad on my face and shoulders!
Not as much as I used to, before I was on Metformin!
I used to get it a lot right under my bra straps!

Get involved in animal rescue. You won't be sorry. Your heart may break, there may be times when your eyes are red-rimmed for days. You may lose faith in the goodness of people, but your spirit will be renewed by the resilience of those you save. It isn't easy, but it's worth it. I promise you, you will be forever changed.
I used to have really bad acne on my face, shoulders and back but not so much now, though I do get occasional outbursts... However the scars on my back are really bad and I feel really bad exposing my back. I was even embarassed with my DH the first time lol

Yes, and I hate it! It seems to clear up in the summer with sun exposure along with the rest of my facial and chest, shoulder acne. It makes sense as I don't wear sunblock and sun naturally kills bacteria.

I don't have like, whiteheads, (only a few rarely) and I occasionally get painful cysts, but I always have those mini red pimples, you know, like the ones you get on the chin around a big sore pimple (well, this is a heartwarming post innit!)
You can have power over people as long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power.
