Whats up with my body?!
Question: Whats up with my body!?
I've had this problem since I was like 13(15 now)!. I got acne!. But its not the regular kind!. I dont really get acne on my face!. I get it on my ****** back, chest, and neck!. Its really depressing!. There have been several times when I wanted to go swimming without a shirt since then but I cant!. I cover up my body and stuff!. I even grew out my hair to hide it!. Then eventually I got the idea that my long hair was causing it!. I cut it short in the begining of the school year!. Its gotten better but I still suffer from it!. Ive been on prescriptions before!. I am on triamcinolone acetonide now and its decent!.But its not gone!. I stress out because iam in highschool!. And i feel that people are distracted by it!. Do any of you have the same problem!? And do you have any success stories!? I dont want to use acutane though!. I dont think the side effects are worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Lofa sponges seem to help me, but never go's away for perm!. Its better to go without a shirt on in the pool, the shirt rubbing on your skin with the chlorine is irritating it!.
I know what you mean by people being distracted by it!. That never ends, its just so hard for people who don't have it to understand that its not cuz we are dirty or we dont eat right or what ever they come up with next !. You have to learn to not care about what people think and inform them when they feel necessary to tell you why you have it and they dont!.
Clearasil on the spot stuff works better on my back then on my face, try that if you haven't yet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

One of the best things for oily skin and acne is tea tree oil!. You can get washes of it, or pure tea tree oil from the Body Shop!. Using a wash and gently massaging your skin with a loofah can help!. Also if you are going to use tea tree oil, make sure you use a light, oil free moisturiser afterwards, because tea tree oil can dry out the skin alot, causing it to produce more oil!.
If this doesn't help then try an antibiotic from a doctor or chemist, and after using that, follow up with tea tree oil!.

Not sure, but it sounds like you're on antibiotics!. I went through years of that, and have to say, in the end, acutane was the better thing to do!. Antibiotics will kill both the good and bad bacteria in your body, and for me, has had long term problems associated with it!. Plus, it never completely cleared the problem up, and made my skin really red, since I live in a sunny area!. It's probably just hormonal, and will pass in a few years!. Hang in there, and good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
