I use body wash in the shower and put on Stridex 2 times a day. its not working, and if i do wear a low neck shirt im pulling my undershirt up ALL the time. also Proactive and pills are exspencive and i would much rather buy Hollister jeans.

I also got this stuff from my doctor.

well Nikki have you gotten help from your doctor about this acne? I would just wear the cute little top and if people ask questions answer them and go on with what you were doing. After all, it isn't your fault that you have this and things could be much worse. Hang in there if that is the worse thing that you have to endure in life then you are the lucky one.

nikki
my sister had very bad acne ...tried everything under the sun
proactive actually did the trick . have you tried it?
if not there is as extremely expensive pill that is prescribed by a doctor that will work inside out. it is only given in extreme cases and it about 3 times a day maybe about 5 dollars a pill
good luck.

A lot of people have this and there's nothing to be embarrassed about. There is a body wash from Neutrogena that you can get at Wal-Mart or another store that you can use to fight body acne. It's the same type of thing that you use on your face to fight acne, but this is for your entire body. Good luck and I hope it works for you!

Your acne is hormonal and over the counter creams won't clear it up very well. Get an appointment with a dermatologist. That would be my suggestion. There isn't much else you can do besides wash with antibacterial soaps or creams.

Clean and Clear Daily Pore Cleanser (low-end) or Erno Laszlo's Sea Mud Soap (high-end) will both help.

You should go to see a Dermatologist. He can recommend something that will help, that way you won't waste your money on over the counter stuff.

You need to see a specialist. It can be treated with UV or laser light.
