3rd June 2004
I started getting acne about 10 months ago - on my face, chest and back. After 6 months of trying EVERYTHING I went to dermatologist and she prescribed antibiotics. Well, 3 and 1/2 months into it my face is clear, my chest is almost clear enought to wear low fronted tops and my back has just started to clear.
Lotions that I use on my back. Alpha Hydrox AHA Cream, $8 from any drug store (i just started using this last week and my back has suddenly started clearing it up) Renova. I make sure to shower twice a day and in the morning I spray Bactine on my back to keep germs at bay.
My dermatologist says that the back is the hardest place to clear up because of the amount of follicles that are infected. So, in the meantime try the creams, but ultimately, you're gonna have to take something orally.
