Default Guys with backne, heed my advice.

Had a little breakout after running around outside shirtless too much (go figure). If you have a problem with this, here's what was advised to me, and actually works.

Dawn dish soap. Get a good smelling kind, otherwise you smell like a dish washer. Apple blossom is my favorite so far

Put some of that on a loofa or back scrub when you shower, and I will bet you within a week it will start to clear up or be gone.

This has been a moment with Caferacer. Tune in next week kids!

what about getting rid of the actual pimples and bumps/blackheads? those are still a biatch to get out. my family loves popping them from my back. i'll try it though.

I would think this would help too.

BTW, you CAN use it on your face, but it dries it out a lot. Either a good or bad thing, you decide. Plus it dries out your hands, so moisturize.

PS. You have a weird family.

just take warm showers everyday that usually gets rid of them.... but if you want to go the extra mile go to the store and buy clearasil ultra 10% Benzoyl peroxide and apply to the bad spots i wouldn't recommend using it on your face unless your favorite color is bright red

Try to keep a clean shirt on too. Esp if you wear a shirt to bed. Dont wear it 2 nights in a row. That helps alot too.

Question: Wouldn't dish soap dry your skin out possibly causing more irritations?

Hasn't done it to me. Might do it to your face or if you wash too much with it, but a bunch of guys I know have tried it, mainly to help with acne from taking androgens, and it works.

I can imagine if you are fine and use dawn you will dry the crap outta your skin, but it works for me

I usually get 1 or 2 pimples on my back at a time. Sun and showering w/ good soap is all i need.

No no! Stop! Dish detergent is horrible for your skin! Take it from me. I'm a girl and a licensed aesthetician (fancy word for skin care expert). If you need something for your back, here's what I recommend: wash affected area twice a day with a MILD cleanser (all natural is best!) and a SOFT bath pouf (harsh cleansers can actually make it worse by triggering your body's sebum production to make up for what's stripped away); Then apply an a topical treatment containing salicylic acid (this will keep your skin cells from piling up on eachother and clogging your pores); Once a week I recommend using a gentle exfoliant such as Juliet's Smooth and Clean (it's all natural and won't make you smell girlie!). Another great acne fighter is tea tree oil. A lot of health stores carry good products with that in it. If you're stuck for time you can wipe down with a disposable towel saturated with witch hazel (it's an excellent astringent and won't cause any irritations). If you must pick or have someone that picks for you, always make sure your hands are clean and treat the area when you are done. I don't recommend picking though! I'm happy to help if there's any more questions!

Cystic acne is a whole different monster. There you have mainly internal factors working against you. Do you take any omega-3,6,9 or fishy oils?

Benzoyl peroxide will be your best friend if your acne gets out of control
