uh oh..this is slightly embarressing and incredibly uncomfortable.
I have had acne on my back for the past two months and i recently started using a generic non-oil based soap on my back following 10% benzoyl peroxide treatment and its getting worse…there could be several factors causing this but whats your opinion??

Do you have long hair? Sometimes when you have long hair and you use conditioner, the conditioner clogs your pores if your hair touches your back.
I had that too. I’m just waiting it out and not using anything and it’s slowly going away. Puberty is a beyotch. Hah.
People suffering from mild or moderate body acne, I heartily recommend the Clear Pores System. Hard to treat cases are better left to a dermatologist’s skills, although ClearPores is certainly up to the task.
The best way to treat acne is to cleanse the skin with a solution containing Salicylic Acid and SD Alcohol 40. The ClearPores body and face washes contain these two excellent ingredients, which are accompanied by the well-known Aloe Vera (to soothe the skin and help the healing process), Dandelion Root and Yellow Dock.
See its official site: http://www.clearpores.com/clicks/clickthrough.html?a=150901
Also…keep your body skin clean every day and be careful not to trigger acne or rashes by wearing very tight clothing or heavy backpacks. If you feel your clothing, backpack or purse is causing you skin problems, then start thinking about alternatives.
You can try phisoderm body wash, thats what i used to use. I would also try using one of those luffas that have the long stick so you can reach ur back well with the soap
when possible wear your hair up and wear a singlet or loose fitting top that isnt a thick material as these could be some of the factors causing it. change your sheets and pillow slips regularly and apply your soap using a loofah or sponge or use a gentle exfoliant on it. exfoliating acne on the face can often make it worse but does wonders for back acne. i use a body wash containing salyclic acid whenever i get acne on my back( i used to have it but after following these steps it went away and now i just need to scrub about once a week). dont ever pop pimples on your back because they take alot longer than ones on your face to heal and will spread germs alot more. dont apply anything on your back before you go to bed because this is what can worsen it as it wont allow your skin to breathe and did absolutely nothing for me .
i hope this helps and good luck!
Acne or pimples are usually a result of hormonal changes and an irregular and increased production of oil by the sebaceous glands. You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as a simple home remedy. Check out http://useinfo-acne.blogspot.com/ for more useful info.
DIET is KEY.
*don’t do and/or eliminate as much as possible*
-soda
-sugar/corn syrup
-meat/dairy/eggs
-processed food
-fast food
-(partially) hydrogenated oils (almost in everything)
-additives
-fried foods
-white bread/flour
-beer, to a lesser extent (if you must drink, drink a little wine)
*eat as much as possible*
-SALADS (at least, 1 a day)
-fruit (not canned)
-fruit juice (100%)
-organic
-whole foods
-raw foods
it may take a while for your system to cleanse, but:
-be consistent
-exercise (lower body-running/sit-ups)
-osteopathic adjustments (spine)
-and make an effort to REALLY enforce those dietary guidelines as much as possible; not just a little, but a real effort. read those labels. if you can’t afford to shop at a health food store or your parents don’t eat that way, be prepared to get a job.
You want to keep a 80% alkaline to 20% acid balance in your system; which might be difficult at first, but stick with it (it may take a few months), but, I guarantee, you’ll see an improvement; the longer you stick with it, the better your complexion will continue to get.
Apply the juice of crushed leaves of marigold over the spots.
