A member asked:

My back is just like my face, really oily! can you recommend anything to treat an oily back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oily Skin: If a basic facial cleanser doesn’t cut oiliness, try a product that includes an acid such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or beta-hydroxy acid.
