My boyfriend has really bad body acne. What should he use?

He only has black heads on his legs, and they constantly itch. He's tried everything. Lubriderm, Gold Bond Aveeno overnight relief....they're all too strong. He used Caress soap and Aveeno body wash in the shower but and baby oil gel after the shower. The baby oil gel only stops the itching for 2 hours tops. Even at work, he has to reapply it. When we try something new it burns his legs and he has to jump right back in the shower to get it off. It's irritating for me to yell at him to stop scratching, but I know it's even more irritating for him.

neutragena body wash for acne. if that doesn't work GO TO THE DOCTOR!
Try a body wash with salicylic acid in it, like this one by Neutrogena- http://www.neutrogena.com/ProductsDetail鈥?/a>





He might be allergic to the harsh chemicals in the soap, so you might have him use an exfoliating towel like Salux towels on Amazon, and no soap. Also, after showering moisturize his skin. Instead of using lotion, you might have him try using olive oil, jojoba oil or coconut oil.
Try proactive. I bought it for my then-boyfriend, and it did wonders for his acne.


But if that doesn't work for your bf, he should go to a dematologist, because his condition sounds serious and abnormal. Some skin conditions are best treated with prescription ointment/medication. Prescription meds may cost $$$, but it typically requires few applications over a short period of time, but it will work over a longer period of time.
Sounds like he has psoriasis.





He needs to see a doctor for an effective steroid treatment. A general serach on the net should help you find some home remedies.
Has he considered going to see a doctor about the acne? The doctor could prescribe him some ointment that might help. To keep my face and body free of acne I use Noxzema Exfoiliting Cream. It's 6 bucks for a big bottle of it and it lasts a while. Your skin feels great after using it. That might help! Good luck and I hope that he gets better!
neutrogena body wash
tell him to stop eating sugar
He should see a dermatologist for tests, it could be dermatitis to scabbies. I don't think acne makes you itch real bad. He's got some issues going on. Might be a allegic reaction to laundry detergent or the soaps and oils.





try using an oatmeal based soap and calimine lotion for the itch . He should stay away from oils , it is a magnet for dirt and will aid in clogging his pores .


Wear looser pants.


Wash bed sheets and clothing often since getting in them with oil will obviously attract dirt and bacteria to his sheets and pants, which can transfer onto him.





good luck hope he gets relief..
try sulfur based soaps on his legs. it's available in all supermarkets and drugstores at reasonable price. it's known to kills the bacteria that prevents the acne from coming back.
Um, see a dermatologist? This sounds serious.
my mother told me that black sores can be syphillis
get Accutane it works great, its a perscription pill
I ONCE USED PROACTIV FOR THE BODY, IT WORKS REALLY WELL AND THE INGREDIENTS ARE SOOTHING, SO IT WONT IRRITATE
I know this may sound stupid, but when i was younger i tried a bunch of stuff myself and it wasnt till i started drinking a lot of water before it went away
Get the Murad Body Acne Cleanser and the Body Acne Spray. He needs to consume a lot of water to help clear it up too.
