How can you prevent acne on the back, chest, shoulders area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rx: If it is this extensive, you are going to need prescription meds. If there are numerous comedones, consider a topical mix of Clindamycin and a retinoic acid derivative; if not, a mix of Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide. If this doesn't work well, the next step is a systemic antibiotic that's right for you. Good luck, and keep up your proactive approach.
