Horrible acne on my upper back!!?

I have been using Neutrogena Body Wash and Body Scrub (both have 2% salicylic acid) and Clean & Clear sopt treatment on my back. My acne seems to be getting worse. I flip my hair over in the shower so the shampoo doesn’t get on my back, I don’t wear tight clothes, I put powder on my back as soon as it gets sweaty. What else can I do?!?! I’m a 15 year old girl btw. Also, would tanning outside help my back clear up? I’m desperate!! It looks awful!!
I make sure my hair is never on my back

i have the same problem =( i freakin HATE it..im using clean & clear but it doesnt work. i cant wear tank tops, bathing suits and it looks so ugly. im going to the dermatogist..i hope they help..you should go too =] good luck!
my older sister had the same thing by putting fancy potions and lotions and stuff makes it worse if you go to the dermatogist they can pills or cream and it clears it up
: )
u should not put anything in ur hair if it touches your back because that causes acne and tanning or the sun is probably a good idea b/c it will dry it up….maybe u should see a dermatoligist
I am an esthetician myself, and I have learned that you pretty much shouldn’t use any skincare products that you can find at a Walgreens or Rite Aid. This isn’t always the case, but more often than not.
You are going to need to invest in some good products is what is sounds like. You’re going to want something that kills bacteria. Check out the Dermalogica line. They have a great body wash. Check out the SkinMedica line too. Google dermadoctor. That website has some greaaat products.
I think you should visit a doctor. You might have a chemical balance problem in you body.
If you do your doctor can give you a pill that can help.
Also you shouldn’t use two different types of body wash you could be effecting you skin worse that way.
And honestly i don’t’ think that ur shampoo will effect it so i think you can wash ur hair normally.
Another thing i don’t think it’s a good idea to put powder on ur back
the best thing i think is when you sweat you should probably change ur shirt and later take a shower..
And i don’t’ think tanning will help…if anything it might make it worse so i really think you should see a doctor cuz i think it might be a serious problem…i hope this helped!
HEY , WHATS UP GRANDHUSTLE DIVA:) NO JUST KIDDING BUT HERE MIGHT BE A SOLUTION TRY AND BUY THIS STUFF CALLED SELSUN BLUE RUB THAT AND WARM WATER TOGETHER BUT ASK SOMEONE TO PUT IT ON YOUR BACK AND LEAVE IT ON FOR 5 MIN. AND I PROMISE IT WILL BE GONE TRUST ME. I USED IT FOR MY BACK AND IM ONLY 13. EWW WEIRD :0 WELL I HOPE THIS WORKS
Your not the only one sweetie.
Lol.
I have the same problem and it’s nasty.
I have like icky zits on my upper back too, and they just won’t go away plus it’s like hard to reach my back so i know how you feel.
See a dermatologist.
They deal with that crap all the time.
