I have a bad breakout on my back. should i use aloe vera on it?

Not the best: Aloe vera is great for burns to the skin, but not for bad breakout from acne, if you are talking about acne. Use a drying agent on your skin, like salicylic acid or tretinoin. You might need to see your primary care doctor or a dermatologist if it is really bad.
