I've head very bad skin and spotty forehead and also a bit of acne on my back, why is this?

Don't ask why: There's no explaining why one person gets acne and the next person doesn't. Every explanation you've been given is wrong. It's unrelated to hygiene, diet or lifestyle. Start using topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated; since the disease is on your back this won't be enough to clear you, and you'll want to get with your personal physician to add prescription-strength Rx.
