What's the best medication for Chest Acne?(whiteheads/blackheads)?

First of all - LOL, I am a very clean person and take 2 showers a day, morning and night.I've been noticing that in the past 2 years, I've been getting chest acne (whiteheads/blackheads), some shoulders and back as well. Whats the best medication to use? I've already tried proactive, neutrogena body scrub, and Nivea but to no avail. Any derm experts out there? appreciate your tips. Thanks!What's the best medication for Chest Acne?(whiteheads/blackheads)?
2 showers a day is too much, once is OK...You make your skin too soft and also by using warm water it helps develop ping.





Also Stop scrubbing, it will scratch your acne, and use natural argyle, let it dry the whites heads, this works.What's the best medication for Chest Acne?(whiteheads/blackheads)?
The products you are using, are they Salsylic Acid or Benzoyl peroxide? BP can be VERY drying. I personally like SA better. Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! Try finding a face lotion with SA in it. Clean and Clear has a good moisturizer with SA and it helps keep pimples at bay. It is only about $5 a bottle and lasts about 2 months and you can get it at your local store. I have used this in the past and it works well. Personally, I use Biore products (which you get over the counter. Their products range from $5-$10). They are harsh on pimples, but not on your face.


Personally, Proactive didn't work for me. I have been using Biore products for over a year and I hardly ever break out! Occasionally I will get one or two, but nothing bad. I use Biore Ice Cleanser for acne and Biore warming facial scrub every morning for blackheads (This stuff works. I notcied a DRASTIC diffrence in my blackeads being GONE within 2 weeks) . And then 3-4 day s a week I use Biore purging pore cream scrub. For body acne I use Neutrogena acne body wash I never break out on my body. It gets 110 in summer so sweat in inevitably, yet I never break out. Give it a try. All of it is cheap too. About $5-10 depending on what you buy! Salsylic acid it really good. It is in almost all acne washes. Benzoyl Peroxide is too drying for me! I think you will just need to experiment with products until you find what works for you. Remember, it can take 1 month for products to fully begin working! Good Luck!
If you are having problem that showering cannot handle or standard OTC creams.. Check with a actual dermatologist. He can look to see how bad, and might have some prescription stuff you can use that is a bit stronger than OTC.
Use rubbing alcohol.
First try to see what is the cause of all that. I had the same problem because of some digestive problems, and after I solved that out it disappeared.An external treatment can solve the problem temporally, but u should try to find if there isn't any internal problem.And if inside is everything OK, external I have used some ointments based on azelaic acid ( I had an ointment named Skinoren) or a solution named Zineryt(erythromycinum + zinci acetas dihydr)...hope I have been help full!
