Acne on arms, chest and back! Please help!?
Discount Medical Scrubs
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of it. Someone said it was my hygiene and that I wasn't scrubbing hard enough. I tried scrubbing hard for like a week and i think it got worse if anything. My friends mom works in a medical and knows a lot. She gave my some hydrocortisone creams and told me to rub that on my arms for a week or so. Nothing! I tried switching body washes to a non perfume body wash but nothing happened. I am so tired being embarrassed to take off my shirt because of these bumps please help. Also I know if it helps or not but apparently other members of my family have the same problem!

Why not try some..more natural things. That might do the trick! Strangely my friend (guy) had the EXACT same problem, so I know what cured him. Some homemade remedies and recipe treatments. Here’s what he tried and worked:
There are many home remedies which can help you preventing and treating back acne. Major of them are described below.
Wash the back acne with herbal soap rather than chemical. The usage of Neem (Indian Herb) is considered as the best.
One can apply ripen tomato’s pulp on back acne for an hour and then it is to be washed with lukewarm water.
The proven homemade remedy for back acne is one can take tender and fresh leaves of the Neem along with turmeric. Make paste out of them and apply it on the back acne.
One can go for application of fresh lemon juice on the affected area for overnight. Wash it next morning with plain water.
Take rose water and extract of juice of lemon in equal quantity. Use this mixture on the back acne for about half an hour. Afterward this is to be washed with fresh water. The whole procedure is to be done for minimum 15 days.
An application of fenugreek leaves over the back acne every night for about fifteen minutes and then washing it with lukewarm water is considered to be beneficial.
Take about 5 gm of turmeric powder and mix about 10 ml of mint juice. Apply this solution on the back acne for about half an hour and then wash it with lukewarm water. This is beneficial especially on the back acne.
One theory says that application of grated potatoes on the back acne is useful to treat inflammation.
Internally, you can have lukewarm lemon water instead of coffee or tea.
The most famous among all includes application of Aloe vera juice.
Take orange peel and grind it with some water and make it in the form of paste. This should be applied on the affected areas.
Some naturopaths suggest an application of the paste of cumin seeds on the back acne for its inflammation and infection.
Make a paste out of roasted and powdered pomegranate along with fresh lime juice. This paste is to be applied on back acne and even for blackheads.
Egg white is considered to be good for nourishing the skin. Apply egg-white simply on the affected area.
Internally, wheat grass juice has shown many beneficial effects. You can have this juice once or twice a week.
One can also go for lavender oil. Apply this oil on the back acne everyday for minimum 15 days.
Along with these homemade remedies for back acne, one should follow the regular light diet and should not remain constipated. By performing all these together you can get rid of back acne.
If you are looking for over-the-counter body acne treatment product then we recommend ClearPores Body System:
The oil-free body wash will help you fight acne on your back, chest and arms by unclogging your pores and expelling all the bacteria and oil that cause pimples and other blemishes. Aside from the body wash containing SD Alcohol and Salicylic Acid, the system includes herbal pills, which fight acne-causing bacteria from the inside, and a protection cream that keeps your skin healthy and acne-free through the day.
How to use Clearpores
Before applying the body wash, you should wet the areas attacked by acne with warm water. Gently massage the wash into the skin concentrating on both the areas where acne has reared its ugly head and on those that have been subject to flare-ups in the past. Keep the substance on your skin for 2 to 3 minutes and rinse with cool water. The body wash should be used twice a day for optimum results. Wait 5-10 minutes after using the body wash before applying the protection cream. The purpose of the cream is to continue fighting the causes of acne and to protect from renewed attacks by bacteria. The two products are supplemented by the herbal pills, which help the body suppress the activity of bacteria in pores before they can make themselves a home in your skin. Take two pills per day, at any time during the day, with a meal or a glass of water.
PLEASE, try these. Just at least one. It helped my friends and it will work again helping you.
GOOD LUCK;):):):):):)

If you do sports a lot, your pours in your skin get clogged and fill up with pus, or their just dirty pours, hence blackheads. Zits on the arms, chests and back can also just be ingrown hairs, to where the hairs on your body did not reach the surface, i somewhat have the same problem. If you pop the zits, put some astringine on them so they will be clean and closed.(pours are closed so no dirt can get in them)
hope that helps
