Acne care 4 back: Wash (not scrub) back with soapy water to remove excess oil (but not strip all oil or body will produce much more). Pat dry. Have someone apply acne meds (benzoyl peroxide or Retin-A + topical antibiotic like cleocin). If pimples r large & cystic, see dermatologist for more intense treatment.
