Question 1

what do i do to get rid of chest acne?

Accepted Answer

Chest acne: First, make sure it is acne and not another acne-like condition. This calls for a visit to your dermatologist.

Question 2

what do i do to get rid of chest acne fast?

Accepted Answer

Systemic Rx: Acne on the trunk will at a minimum require a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline 500 2x/day. A topical agent like benzoyl peroxide may help some. Don't hesitate to consider Accutane if this fails.

Question 3

ultimate method to get rid of chest acne and backne and stretch marks?

Accepted Answer

Hit it hard: Acne on the trunk won't respond fully to topicals though they may help. Your physician will decide whether to start with a systemic antibiotic or refer you for isotretinoin. It should be manageable. Stretch marks need a dermatologist and might be helped some.

Question 4

i have a moderate case of acne on my chest and back. how do i get rid of chest acne?

Accepted Answer

Systemic Rx: I trust the diagnosis is correct. Acne on the trunk usually requires systemic rx. If you can take it, tetracycline 500 2x/day may clear you up. If not, talk with your physician about Accutane as an option. Good luck.

Question 5

i am wondering how to get rid of chest/back acne?

Accepted Answer

See Dermatologist: Best to be seen by a well experienced board-certified dermatologist; nothing replaces in person history and physical when it comes to good medical care/recommendations. Best wishes.

Question 6

please, how would i get rid of chest and back acne in 1 week?

Accepted Answer

Serious Rx: You can't do it on your own, and home remedies and topical benzoyl peroxide probably won't touch it. Your physician can probably clear you in about two weeks with a systemic antibiotic that's right for you, perhaps tetracycline 500 2x/day. If this fails and you're offered isotretinoin, accept it.

Question 7

how do i get rid of chest and back acne it's really gross to me and it makes me insecure about my body now.

Accepted Answer

Oral med/treatment: Unfortunately it is tough to treat severe acne, especially on back because u can't see/reach well. This often require systemic/oral med. I strongly recommend discussing this issue with your doc--talk to your parents because you are only 16. If your doc is not comfortable with treating acne, he/she may refer you to a local dermatologist. There are many options for you. So, chin up....Good luck.

Question 8

how to get rid of back/chest acne quickly?

Accepted Answer

Serious Rx: You'll need both a topical agent such as topical benzoyl peroxide and prescription-strength Rx from your physician, probably a systemic antibiotic for a few months. If you are offered isotretinoin, most folks are very happy with this choice but it's not for the faint-hearted. If you're female, there are other options. Best wishes.

Question 9

what do i do to get rid of and fight chest acne?

Accepted Answer

Serious Rx: You can't do it on your own, and home remedies and topical benzoyl peroxide probably won't touch it. Your physician can probably clear you in about two weeks with a systemic antibiotic that's right for you, perhaps tetracycline 500 2x/day. If this fails and you're offered isotretinoin, accept it.
Edit.
