Answer 2

Body acne is not always easy to treat, especially on the hard-to-reach back area, and can often times be more difficult to treat than facial acne because body skin is thicker. But with the right regimen, it can be successfully treated. Here are some effective tips on how to get rid of body acne:

*
Wash the acne-prone areas daily using an anti-bacterial soap like Dial® or a washcloth with a salicylic acid-based cleanser.

*
Follow up with a 5% to 10% benzoyl peroxide cream (the thicker skin on your body can handle it better than your face) to dry out the pimples, and then use a moisturizer with alpha hydroxyl acid to exfoliate and combat any dryness. You can also use the benzoyl peroxide to spot-treat specific pimples.

*
For unsightly places where body acne hides, aka your booty, gently use a loofah and exfoliating scrub while you’re in the shower to get rid of dead skin cells. Do not scrub the area roughly, which will only increase irritation and inflammation.

*
It’s especially important to wash acne-prone areas immediately after heavy perspiration. Take a shower as soon as you can after you’re done exercising or sweating heavily on a hot day.

It may take up to 6 weeks for results.

Answer 3

Use a loofah & get some sun on your back each day (like about 10-15 minutes - but not enough to burn. The sun creates vitamin D which is good for your skin). Also make sure you drink enough water each day. I don't know much about current treatments available from dermatologists, but if it doesn't get better check it out.

Answer 4

I remember reading something like avoid soaping your back.
Because some soaps have strong chemicals and will cause acnes.

But of course im not telling u not to wash your back.
You should keep your back clean too.
Mayb jus rinise with water..

I agreed with what andie said too..
Try it and see if it will minimise the outbreaks.
No harm trying =)
Good luck.
