Answer 1

i worked at a dermatologist and if you can get to one, DO IT!! they have amazing new acne products for people that play sports/don't have time. they have wipes that won't stain your clothes and all that jazz. also, if you have the raised ones, that never quite come to a head then you can be put on an antibiotic so they won't be so painful. but until then, just use antibacterial wash, and use you're HANDS. because contrary to popular belief-you are just aggrevating the acne by using a loofah or wash cloth.

:) good luck!

Answer 2

When you do shower, make sure you use an antibacterial body wash.

To wipe off the sweat I would use one of the ponds face wash wipes, or something with sacylcic acid listed as an ingredient.

Also, if you can afford it, visit a dermatologist.  They can give you a prescription for pills that will help clear up the bacteria internally.  It really works!!!

Answer 3

buy neutrogena ance-clearing oil-free body wash. its inexpensive and i've heard it works well. just use it like body wash=] use it whenever you do take a shower and in between then make sure you get all the sweat off your back before putting your clothes on because when the sweat gets stuck in between your skin and your clothes it'll clog pores. Also, try to avoid wearing tight tops:) xx

Hi:

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.

Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it's a broad question!

Your age plays a role! How old are you? Do you always have breakouts?

You should educate yourself on acne. As for your back and practice.... hmmmmm..... let me try to think of something for you.

Please read the info below and email me tomorrow at:

I have to consult with the doctor I work with. Do you have anyone that  you trust that can help you clean your back?

The other thing I am thinking of........ I have a team of high school baseball players that are my patients. They use this product that is called NIGHT TIME DRYING LOTION ( it's magic in a bottle) if you have your parent apply it on at night only on the acne spots it will dry them out and by the morning and than I will have a solution for you for the morning practice issue.

TheNIGHT TIME DRYING LOTION can be found on:

www.aboutyourskincare.com it's $19.95 it will last you for monts and it's in a blue bottle. I have all my patients use the products from this Med Spa in Miami Beach.

Of course being that you are under age I would encourage you to have one of your parents read this with you.

Acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.

Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.

However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.

Your hormones play a definite role in your breakouts.

If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.

The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.

The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples' needs.

Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?

Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:

www.aboutyourskincare.com

You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.

Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.

They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that's great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it's gone. It's truely magic in a bottle.

A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you're a young girl you will need fewer products than this):

Night time:

1. Exfoliate the skin

2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).

4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts

5. Moisturizer

Morning:

1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser

2. Moisturizing cream

The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

As I suggested and click on the ASK FOR FREE section send them an email and you will get free expert skin care advice.

Good Luck to you,

Michelle

Answer 5

Well, your back acne is coz of the dried up sweat after practice. You should try to allot five to ten minutes to clean up after a workout. The sweat in your back is a medium for bacterial proliferation that causes acne. If you really don't have time, just make sure that you wipe the sweat off with a hand towel and apply a facial toner using a cotton ball on your back. This helps remove the germs, dirt, and the dead skin cells. Dead skin cells need to be removed for new skin to be generated. If you do this after every practice, results will be noticeable in 2-3 weeks. Good luck! :)
