What to do about really bad back acne that won't go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop neglecting it: You're going to need prescription-strength Rx. If topical benzoyl peroxide plus a systemic antibiotic hasn't cleared you in a few weeks, you may be offered isotretinoin. I would advise you to think seriously about using it. Untreated acne is a grave personal liability and can make you fail a job interview. Get it under control.
