I have had acne on my chest and back for almost 3 years now. It hasn't gotten any better and has got worse but not much. I also cannot consut a dermatologist because my parents and or guardians will not take me to one. Please give me advice on how I can control or get rid of this!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

Buy acne wash (like Neutrogena) and wash your back and chest with it. They also come in a soap form so that you can just use it like regular soap. You can also dab some salicylic acid (Clean & Clear has a good one) on the acne before going to sleep.

raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, get it at the health food store, or some super markets carry it in the health food section.
mix equal parts of vinegar with water, dab on with a cotton ball a few times a day..this should do it..
