Whats a good way to get rid of chest and shoulder acne?

Question

What kind of soap or formula helps with getting rid of chest and shoulder acne?

Answer 1

A soap that dries your skin works best. Try Dial.

Answer 2

I've tried Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub in the shower, but that didnt make a huge difference for me. The best thing is to wash the affected area with your regular facewash twice a day, like you do to your face, and then apply a prescription gel. (I use differin, but Retin-A is good too) If you don't want to wash your body with facewash (because it gets kind of annoying), there are prescription pills you can take that get the acne all over your body, not like creams and gels that only get where you apply it to. If you have sex or irregular periods, birth control would be a good option, because it pretty much kills the acne, and it's like killing two birds with one stone. Anyway, there are many ways to get rid of acne, ask your doctor for whats best.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Answer 6

i go to a dermatologist and he gave me these really good wipes that made them go away.... i don't remember what the name was but u can try something like stridex tripe action pads. they are meant for ur face but it doesn't say that u can use them on ur chest and shoulders. another thing i would use was this spray for body acne made from the brand called 'Natures Cure' but i haven't been able to find it anymore, if u can u should try it cuz it worked for me! good luck and remember u are not alone...we all have acne!

Answer 7

if its embarrassing you,being out of control,and some of these suggestions don't work,see your doctor,or dermatologist. But,before that try dabbing the effected skin only with vinegar,after washing. Try not to put excess oil,lotion,on these areas. Then try dabbing with a benzoyl creme,like Ultra Clearisils'blemish corrector,in a small tube,in the skin care aisles.Aslo try wearing your hair off your back,and neck,especially when working out,or sweating,the oils in your hair,could be causing the breakouts,try not to use any styling products,and if you can't live without,use something light weight and natural ingredients..
