This stuff has been bothering me for years. I shower everyday but it’s still there, as if I’m just keep it at bay. My face isn’t as bad off, but all this acne on my arms, chest and back is so annoying! Anyone know any good solutions that’s cheap, easy to find and affordable to buy at CVS or Walgreens?

The tricky part about acne is that the problem can actually become worse if you overmedicate. That’s because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing a boost in your skin’s Sebum (oil) production. This results in…you guessed it – more acne.
So what’s the long term solution? Find gentler solutions or even natural acne cures that won’t shock your body into more breakouts. Here’s what I recommend:
- Use a glycerin based facewash. Glycerin is gentler and will balance the ph levels in your skin.
- For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry, switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to counterbalance the effect.
- Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently pat dry with a towel.
- Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based face wash drys you out too much.
- Eat almonds, fiber, drink lots of water and avoid excess sugar intake.
- If acne medication isn’t working or causing new breakouts, try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed. This natural remedy works great.
- One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an “oatmeal mask”. The oatmeal with smooth your skin while simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.
- Lemon juice also dries up pimples and kills any bacteria in the infection.

Finding the right acne treatment for your particular case can be quite a difficult task. The reason I say this is that acne treatments work differently for different individuals. Something that may work great for me, may not work at all for you. You should try some different treatments and find the one best for you. You could also try some natural or herbal remedies. If your condition gets worse you may want to visit a dermatologist.
i have that stuff too. its not really acne..my skin doctor says its mostly dry skin. its still clogged like a pimple..but its not exactly the same.
your best bet is to see a skin doctor. it wont be as cheap as you want..but its the best solution. i pinkie swear!
i know how you feel.
i have the exact same problem.
people say to use toothpaste.
but i havent tried that yet.
i went to the doctors and they gave me
BENZOYL PEROXIDE.
im using it right now. its kind of helping.
Tanning and the sun helps my skin dry out … I know not the safest but it works for me.
