Suffering from back acne for over 2 years!?
March 7th, 2009Question: Suffering from back acne for over 2 years!?
I’ve been suffering from back/chest acne for over two years. It isn’t that bad on my face. I currently take Minocycline and it really helps my face. It actually clears it perfectly. But the problem is my back/arms and a tiny on my chest. I don’t know how to get rid of it! I shower with Aveeno oats(the green one) and it isn’t helping. I consume healthy, I limit my fatty foods A LOT. I stopped intake chips, fatty snacks, oily stuff, and stopped drinking soda. I used to be a runner in HS and that is when my acne got bad. I’m currently a Soph in PSU and I expected my acne to get superior by now, but it hasn’t. Can someone please help me out!!! I have considered taking Accutane but my dermatologist stated that it might not be great since it’s pretty expensive. Any home remedies that have worked well? Anything actually would be great!
Sparknotes- I have bad back/arm acne. I take Minocycline and shower with Aveeno oats. Used to be a runner in HS. Acne on back/arm still bad. Help!
Thanks

I found this on a website: Try Milk of Magnesia as an Acne Cure
Are you suffering from severe acne? Then you are probably frustrated with the hosts of medications, treatments, and ointments that just doesn’t seem to work. You might want to try this easy acne remedy: milk of magnesia.
You might also want to try Tea Tree oil. It didn’t work for me but it has worked for others.

Hmm
My boyfriend has bacne, and the way that he’s been getting rid of it is by washing every day (like you do in the shower) and then at night putting toothpaste on the spots that are the worst. It’s been going down quite a bit, and I know that it’s hard to reach back there, which is why I sometimes help him. Weird, but whatever. Oh, and after showering, make sure to always put non pore clogging lotion on your back too.
The reason why we get pimples (besides genetics) is because our skin gets dry, so then it pumps out oils, which result in acne, bacne, zits, etc. So buy some aveeno lotion, and you’ll be set!
Remember the toothpaste!
Hope that helps.
here are some herbal cures but i make no promise but they work for me very nicely * Apply a mixture of 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder to infected area.
* Grind nutmeg with milk and apply on infected areas.
* Make orange peel paste by grinding it in some water. Apply to pimples.
* Mix 1 teaspoon groundnut oil with 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice to prevent blackheads.
* Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for treatment of pimples, insect bites, and eczema.
* Make a paste of ground radish seeds with water. Apply to blackheads.
* Make a paste of turmeric powder in mint juice. Apply to infected area. Wash off after 20-30 minutes.
* Make a paste of salt in vinegar. Apply to pimples. Wash off after 20-30 minutes.

and try letting your body do its job by not using all thoughs meds
