I’m 23 and I’ve had body acne on my back since I hit puberty. It’s pretty bad and I absolutly hate it!!! I can’t wear shirts with open back, unless I cover it with make-up and keep my hair down. Most of the scars are on my lower back. Recently, I’ve been using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub and it helps a bit, but it won’t take away the scars. I also use cocoa butter sometimes on my back, but I know that it won’t solve the major scars.
I’ve been doing some research and I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way to solve this problem is to get laser treatment for scar removal. I know it’s expensive, but I’m gonna have to charge it and make payments for a while. But this is soooooo important to me, that it will be worth it…I hope!

Difficult Acne

About 8 months ago, we had a death in the family…very stressful and I had a horrible breakout…pimples everywhere on my face, and I’m talking everywhere. I attributed it to stress and eventually they went down but “evolved” into this very strange patch of what I can only assume is cystic acne…sort of like a rash which will not respond to any sort of topical treatment I have tried. I have another patch forming, and also some on my neck along with random “normal” pimples elsewhere. When I wake up in the morning, the patches are noticeable in the morning, but they are “flat” and don’t really hurt. By mid day, they hurt when touched and are more inflamed and bumpy. I can’t get into the dermatologist for another 2 months…any ideas on what could have caused this? I’m pushing 30 and have no history of acne problems ever. Is this hormonal or triggered by an unknown allergy to something….and what will likely be the first treatment for it? I’m not a vain person but I’m pained to admit I am becoming very self conscious about it. So far it hasn’t developed into open sores/pustules etc…
