A member asked:
What should i do to take care of back acne and is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scientific Rx: Acne is not normal, not a hygiene or lifestyle problem, and not something you have to tolerate. Acne on the trunk usually requires systemic treatment. Tetracycline 500 2x/day plus some topical is appropriate; some cases may require isotretinoin. If the patient is someone for whom you are responsible, please get this treated now, or there may be a lifetime of regrets.
