I have bad acne on my chest and back that gets worse just before my period (I'm28) Is there anything I can do?

Ok ME too! I have the same thing, except it's on my chest only. My doctor put me on some stuff called Duac. It's a topical gel, and I use it all the time on my breakouts. It's helped out a lot, especially around my period.





Good luck!I have bad acne on my chest and back that gets worse just before my period (I'm28) Is there anything I can do?
Hard to say. Are you active (meaning do you work out frequently or participate in sports)? I am a male and I used to get it bad on my chest and back. Especially after a workout. Two things were recommended. The first is to shower after being active using the Nutrogena Body scrub and soft brush. Rub this on your chest and back especially. Next is to where loose cotton fitted shirts. This may or may not apply to you. I am not sure if you wear tight tank tops, bras, etc..


I am sure male and female skin is different but I would spend the 5 bucks on the Nutrogena, give it a shot and see what happens and you will smell good too..I have bad acne on my chest and back that gets worse just before my period (I'm28) Is there anything I can do?
I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered





my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of





drugs. I cured myself through DIET.





-This is what you should avoid/elminate:





fried foods


White bread/flour


starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta)


soda/carbonated drinks


sugar/corn syrup


meat/dairy


soft foods (processed foods)


hydrogenated oils (in processed foods)








-you should increase your intake of:





fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least)


8 glasses of water a day


whole foods


black and/or brown bread (whole grains)


nuts








-you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline forming foods, to 20% acid forming





foods. (mostly fruits and vegetables)





-----





Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get





away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods





below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and





elminate than those above.





I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer





today.





He also said you can help yourself through osteopathic adjustments to your spine,





he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn't in proper





adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven't done this yet, as it is





expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the





aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years.





Don't believe the people who say it doesn't effect it, I swear to god this will





help. It helped me. =) good luck!
just got to the dermetologist


my sister had acne on her chest


She got medicine from the dermetologist


her acne was gone in 3-4 weeks


nothing is there now.
Go to the dermatologist. Acne can be related to hormones during menstruatal cycle. He/she will decide which medications are the best for you. Also some types of OCPs can also cause acne so think about this too!
You can check out the Morning Burst products from Clean and Clear, they have body wash products for acne on other parts of the body. You can also change your diet, drink more water, that sort of thing and it will help.
