I have bacne on my back and shoulders. I read somewhere that putting vinegar on it really helps! Does anyone know anything about this-- can it harm your skin or make the bacne worse? I'm already on acne medacine, so will using the vinegar in unison with the medication have a bad effect? Please help its almost summer and its so embarassing to show off my back!

someone said something about baby powder, but how do you apply that? and how long does it take to work?

Vinegar? I don't know about that. Your acne medication should help to clear up your back as well. But if it's not, I'd recommend a cream of some sort--look for ones with 10% benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These are the strongest you can get without a prescription. If you have someone that can help you apply it, that'll make it much easier. Or, you can buy a liquid astringent and put it in a spray bottle so you can apply it yourself. Clean & Clear makes an astringent that I've used before. Also, Nature's Cure has a spray bottle product, but it's more expensive. Hope this helps!

I used a little corn starch like baby powder for about a week. I also learned to let me back dry more completely after showering so that it wasn't wet when i put clothes on. I used to have a bad problem with this, now i don't.

i had that when i was pregnant. all 3 times. avon makes a bubble bath. i don't know the name but it's in a large pink bottle. it's one of their older products. when i took a bath with it, it dried up all the acne and cleared it quite a bit. of course you'd have to lay so that your shoulders would be in it and soak for a while but, who's not up for a long hot bath? i did that a couple times a week.i know it sounds goofy but, it really worked well.

toothpaste your bacne my friend. And put clearasil on your back before bed and right after a shower.
