Answer 1

I feel for ya. I, too, had backne as a teen. Get some astringent, like Sea Breeze (it can be found in any local discount or drug store for a few bucks), and apply it on your skin with a cotton ball twice a day, once should be right after showering. Also, avoid using regular body lotions on your shoulders. If you need to use lotion there, use a lotion designed for your face that doesn't contain oil and won't clog pores. If you work out a lot or get sweaty, be sure to change your shirt or shower as soon as you are done. Sweat can increase the backne and you don't want it sitting there for too long.
It will take a little while to fade, but be sure to keep it up even after it is gone so that it doesn't come back.

The good news is that once you're in your mid-20s it pretty much goes away for good. Something to look forward to, I guess.

Hey! I know something that should help. My brother bought this thing called a spin spa from walmart. Its like this little rotating brush that you can fill with acne cleanser or just soap. You can choose which head to use (massage, scrub, cleanser....) Its great. I have one and its really nice

ooo backne, rough stuff. i had it too and it took forever to find the solution, it seemed like nothing worked. but i found that gatorade rlly works! ik it sounds weird but 10 minutes before u get in the shower put some gatorade on a towel and rub it in. let it soak in until u shower. it has somethin to do with the energy in the drink. just give it try, it could work for u too! hope i helped! <3
