Bacne, help please? ?

Question

Alright my bacne isn't so bad as the ones I saw on the internet.. but it's still bad. For months I always have to wear something over my nice tank top or tube top.. because my back will show. It's red spots, and sometimes they hurt. Its continue to grow over the years, and I really want to stop it.

My parents don't want me to go to a derm because they said all I need to do is sleep early, drink water, and sweat.

I mean I'm really not the type to go out and run, but I change my sheets every week and I drink lots of water. So maybe I should sweat...? I also have a bad habit of picking it sometimes ..

Anyways I really want to a see a derm, but how much does it cost? And do I have to show them my back (I'm kind of emebrassed). Thankyou

Well first off, seeing a dermatologist can be expensive and difficult since they're a fairly rare specialty...it can take months to get in! But, once you're there, they're excellent at helping figure out a solution.  You definitely will have to show them your back; if you don't show them the problem, they can't help find an answer!

In the meantime, maybe you can try some simple things to help clear it up.  Try using Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash or Body Scrub, or Cetaphil Skin Cleanser.  Both are dermatologist tested and are cheap enough to buy and give a whirl.  Also, try to keep your hair off your bare skin to keep extra oil off your back, and be sure to shower after working out/sweating.

Good luck!

People suffering from mild or moderate body acne, I heartily recommend the Clear Pores System. Hard to treat cases are better left to a dermatologist’s skills, although ClearPores is certainly up to the task.

The best way to treat acne is to cleanse the skin with a solution containing Salicylic Acid and SD Alcohol 40. The ClearPores body and face washes contain these two excellent ingredients, which are accompanied by the well-known Aloe Vera (to soothe the skin and help the healing process), Dandelion Root and Yellow Dock.

Also...keep your body skin clean every day and be careful not to trigger acne or rashes by wearing very tight clothing or heavy backpacks. If you feel your clothing, backpack or purse is causing you skin problems, then start thinking about alternatives.
