A great treatment that isn't costly at all is Neutregeana Body Wash with achne fighting crystals. It is about 6-7 dollars at any local drug store or Wal-mart....Put a little on a body sponsh and wash your body.. You should see a different within a week or two. it works great. My sister has had the same problem as you, and that is what she uses. It is great! And you feel clean afterwards! Good Luck!

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.

Answer 4

Neutrogena makes a body wash with acne medication in it that helps, and it's pretty inexpensive. Also, make sure you change your bed sheets at least once a week (maybe even more often than that)- even if you shower right before you go to bed, your skin still produces oils and sheds dead skin that build up in your sheets and can make body acne worse. And get out of your sweaty cloths and shower as soon as you possibly can after you work out, whether it be going for a run or bike ride, or gym class at school. If it's really a problem for you, talk to your mom or dad about setting up an appointment with a dermatologist for you to see about getting some sort of prescription treatment for it.

Answer 5

To EVE- Eating greasy foods doesn't contribute to getting acne. Yes I had this same problem, you should use Neutrogena, or a cheap way is to use a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol and afterwards I put on a light coat of lotion from keeping the skin from being dry. It works for some people, everyone has different skin. You can also use toothpaste to dry up the pimples and don't rub it everywhere just dab some on and it should be good after letting it dry for about 15 minutes.

Answer 6

Well, you should defenatly try Proactive and Neutogina acne treatment body wash.
Also, don't stress so much, wash yourself more often sometimes without soap, and eat a LOT OF fruits and veggies, and no oily stuff or fried greasy stuff!
Good Luck!

Answer 7

First off you have an imbalance of oil in your body...more water less foods like cokes, frys...junk food...get some seabreeze and clean back and chest at least twice a week...then also get Kiss my face olive oil soap...it regulate the oils in the skin...get the one with aloe vera...on vitaglo.com....also get a loofa, scrub your back and front with the kiss my face on the loofa and then one last thing..get the kiss my face aloe and olive oil moisturizer...use it on all areas...my husbands back doesnt even have them anymore....it takes about a week for the skin to balance after you use it...but if you do you should start to see them go right after...if they dont you need to completely change your diet to an alkaline diet and it should help...
