Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?

So I have extremely bad acne on my back and it is making my skin turn a funny purple red colour and it is disgusting. I want it to ge gone for summer so that I don't have to worry about it. How can I make it go away for good?





(I live in NZ it is summer in December)Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?
Use an acne body wash for the time being, and schedule an appointment with a dermatologist so you can get either a topical or oral treatment. I used to have bacne and it's not too bad now!Please help me I have really bad acne on my shoulder blades and I want it gone for summer!?
Kate, Whether acne appears on the face, neck, chest or back鈥he underlying cause is the same鈥?hair follicles and pores get clogged owing to excessive sebum (oily hormonal secretion from the seaceous glands on the skin鈥檚 surface. Dead skin cells become trapped and together with the sebum, bacteria attacks and produces acne.





The first step in back acne treatment is to wear loose clothing鈥specially in Summer when there is a tendency to get hot and sweaty. This can further compound the problem by irritating the condition.





A fantastically effective and economical exfoliant can be found in most households in the form of bicarb soda, or baking soda (not baking powder)





It costs only a couple of dollars to buy from the local supermarket (Arm and Hammer is a popular brand)





It is gentle, and safe. Apply a paste of 3 parts Baking soda to 1 part water in a gentle circular motion after washing back with soap and water. Rinse off. This natural exfoliant will slough off dead skin gently without the use of harsh chemicals. Do it 2-3 times a week.





If you can get someone to do it for you鈥hat鈥檚 even better. It can be quite awkward on your own.





The next step once the skin on the back is clean and dry is to apply an effective bacne treatment. Topical cream or gel made from 4% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 or Niacin) is an ideal choice. Niacinamide or Nicotinamide as it is sometimes called is great to get rid of bacne. It is fast acting, not harsh on your skin, and the New York University College of Medicine proved it as effective as the leading topical prescription medication, Clindamycin.





The 4% Niacinamide cream should be applied once or twice (many people find once per day sufficient) per day. Good times are before bed at night and upon awakening in morning before getting dressed. Unlike Benzoyl peroxide, Niacinamide will not stain clothes and sheets鈥nd will not dry out the skin excessively.

Good Luck Kate!
You probably sweat alot there. Try an antibacterial soap like Dial or Neutragena. If you workout or play sports or whatever try to shower after or aleast wipe down and change your shirt. Apply antibacterial lotion ( the one I like it from Neutragena). If this doesn't help you may need antibiotic treatment for a few months. WARNING: It will get worse before it gets better. The medication might make you nauseous.
