Answer 1

Theres an special formula that proactiv makes just to treat acne on the back.  Also try and anti bacterail soap on the back .

Answer 2

You can go to the doctor.

My sister has this problem (not to bad) and she uses Noxzema body wash.

Answer 3

I get those too. the brown spots are scars from the pimples themselves. you can try talking to a dermatologist about this and I highly recommend it.

get a soft back scrubber and use a clearifier on it.

use it to rub astrigent on them as well

take care of your skin from the inside as well.. get vitimins especially A and E. and omega3 fatty oils. codliver oils is a good one.

take a look at your diet... is it full of greasy foods, junk foods and candy? make sure you're getting a balanced diet of fresh or semi fresh (frozen) foods and less boxed foods and foods full of preservatives.

Answer 4

just wash it more and when u sweat go take a shower and don't wear dirty clothes
