I do have some on my face but it is WAY worse on my back. I have no idea why. I havent worn a tank top or anything like that in forever. It is leaving really dark scars now. I don't know if its a pcos thing.

Yeah, the pill helped me a lot too. I''m TTC and I wondered if I got pregnant how the hormones would affect my acne. Lets hope it makes it all go away!!

Something I'm using which is helping a little more than anything else I've found since BCP is a glycolic peel system, in the form of little pads you wipe on. Its by patricia wexler, called acnostat. It has a glycolic pad then after two minutes you wipe the neutralizer pad all over. Its quick and seems to be helping so I'll keep using it.

I have it on my back very badly. Occasionally I get breakouts elsewhere but my back is the main problem. My sister (who is an aesthetician) has given me a couple of back facials, which really help my back to feel better, but the acne never goes away.
I get acne on my face every now and then, but my back, chest and arms are always bad. BC hasn't helped me at all. I've tried acne body washes and creams and I haven't found anything yet. I know there are prescription meds you can get but I haven't tried them yet.
I actually found that Neutragena(don't think it's spelled right) there body wash and body scrub really helped me. after using it for about 2 weeks.. it almost completly cleared up. It's worth a shot ... good luck
Hi, I am the exact same with the acne on my back, its defo the worst! Sometimes on my chest and face also. I found BCP's did help but since I have come off that I have found Cinnamon supplements (which was recommended on here) are really helping. I started it about 3 wks ago and Im definitely noticing a difference with the acne on my back now .. Definitely! You should check out the Cinnamon thread over in Complimentary Therapies -seems to have helped a few people with acne.
I have the same acne on the back thing a well, I dont know why it is worse on my back but it does seem to get worse after excercising so it could be a bacteria thing, Who knows???
My face has always had acne, but my back was always perfectly smooth. As soon as I got pregnant, my back broke out in all these little under the skin bumps. My husband was rubbing my back and he got grossed out- that made me feel really great!
I have backne too, and also on my face, neck, jaw line. I think I read somewhere that the acne in PCOS gals shows up in places where dudes would grow hair? (the testosterone imbalance thing). Hhhhhhhm, guess if we were guys we'd be the hairy backed ones!
Spotty back? 
im hoping being pregnant with heaps of progrestrone and female hormones will help!!
