Anyone else here have big problems with acne not on their face? I have had big problems for years now with it on my back, chest, arms and face. My back is now covered with those reddish scars as are my shoulders. I have tried so many different things now and cannot seem to get it to go away. Any advice from you ladies on stuff that has worked for you would be great.

If you haven't tried it yet, go for Proactiv. I swear, nothing works better. I had a pretty bad problem with acne for years and about two weeks into using it, my face was soooooo much better. Years down the line now and I only get the occasional zit now and again =D
I have backne. It drives me nuts! my face and everywhere else is pretty fine, but my back not so much. And i've tried expensive laser treatments and all and nothing has worked for me. I'm overweight and when I lost weight it got better. But I regained it and have been struggling to loose it again. I don't have a solution, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to post and get you bumped up and see if anyone else has any advice. I have to be in a friend's wedding and we're wearing strappless dresses so any advice would be great!

April, I know how you feel! I have a few weddings coming up that I am standing in and I am terrified! I wish this acne would just go away. It's horrible! I saw a different post by a lady who said that she's been taking B5 and it cleared her all up. I think I'm going to try that. Shadmock, I've been thinking about trying Proactiv for quite some time now. I think I will give that a try too! Thanks for the posts ladies

B5... It's worth a try! I had a hard time with proactive mainly because of the work involved in dealing with WHERE my acne is, but I've heard great things about it! Good luck!

I used to get horrible acne, the worst when i was pregnant, i had to go on accutane because i still had despite antibiotics, differen gel, chemical peels, and i have tried many many things, like murad and others. after accutane my skin has never been clearer, my acne did return but not super bad like before . now i use proactive solution and it seems to be really working good for me along with the green skin smoothies and zinc ,multi vitamin. my skin has really been improving on proactive, i just have pretty dry skin now, instead of super oily. which is alot better than acne. for my back my hubby uses a stridex pad or two and it really clears me up, i also have him sometimes scrub my back with some proactive. swimming also can really clear up back acne and arm acne. i usually just go for a swim late at night. if you have a juccuzzi soak in it and that really helps. it really dies out my body acne. hope this helps. and see if you can wear a pretty shawl for the wedding. thats what i would do.
I too am having back acne problems. Nowhere else but my back. Back when I was a teenager, Proactiv cleared up my face. Never had acne on my face again. I guess I'll try the suggestion of using proactiv on my back too! I'll let everyone know what happens.
Whole body acne

Yep
