You're a man now: Congratulations on passing this milestone. New joys and responsibilities will come with manhood, and this includes taking charge of your health-care decisions. Acne on the trunk almost always requires prescription-strength systemic rx. Don't ask "why" -- it's who you are right now. Pick up the phone and schedule an appointment with your personal physician. Best wishes.
