A member asked:

I have black heads on my chest and back including acne scares how do i treat it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blackheads: You can treat acne on your back and chest the same way you treat acne on your face. You can try some over the counter remedies like salicylic washes. If your problem persists, have your skin evaluated by a board certified physician.
