How to get rid of body acne?

Question

I have a lot of body acne. On my shoulders, back, arms, and legs. This prevents me from wearing summer clothes. I've tried acne scrubs but they don't seem to work for my body acne.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Answer 1

If you are of an age to take Accutane, it will clear up your entire body. It will remove any/all scars. If you are planning on becoming pregnant any time soon, do not take this medication.
My son had acne all over his body. He was given Accutane, and it went away, forever! He is 37, now, and he took it when he was 15 yrs old. It may be expensive.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

i think acne scrubs are only good for irritating your acne even more. Have you tried something gentle like neutrogena face wash? When my son was a teenager, he had the same problem. I took him to a dermatologist and she prescribed the neutrogena face wash along with some prescription drugs. He was on at least three types of drugs to combat his severe acne, and it took about 6 months before he was able to be completely free of the all over body acne. He started to see results in less than that amount of time but in the beginning the meds dried out his skin too much and he had to use less dosage. You should see a dermatologist, they work wonders.

Answer 5

The good news about body acne is it's from oily skin and oily skin does not age as fast! The best thing you can do is to take baths with Aveeno Oatmeal bath product. It will go away on it's own ... or you can ask your doctor for help.

Answer 6

Have you considered a food allergy? Perhaps wheat, eggs, soy, dairy? Get testing done or keep a food journal to see if it gets worse after eating certain foods. There is so much toxic artificial stuff in most foods that can cause severe acne, tho very few people realize it is diet related

Answer 7
