Scientific Rx: Acne is a complex disease and home remedies and "fast cures" will disappoint. With acne on your trunk, systemic rx is usually necessary. Your physician may start you on tetracycline 500 2x/day perhaps with topical benzoyl peroxide. Results are usually obvious in a week or two. If not satisfactory, consider a dermatology consult for Accutane or something similar. Good luck.
