What do you know about body acne???
-
I've been doing some research online, and I've come to the conclusion that I have body acne. I've had it since I hit puberty and it sucks!!! I'm 23 now, and I still get acne on my back. It's pretty rare that I get something on my face, but my back is a nightmare!!! If there was one thing I could change about myself, it would definently be my body acne. I use Neutrogena Body Clear Body Scrub and it helps to keep it down, but the scars on my back are terrible. It's sooo embarrassing. I usually can't wear anything with an open back because of my scars, and when I do I have to cover it with make-up, but its still not as sexy as other girls' my age. Honestly...I'm jealous of them for their sexy backs. I also use cocoa butter sometimes on my back, but I know it won't solve the big scars on my back. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this same problem? How do you deal with it? Why do I even have body acne???

Answer:
I can tell you that I know a few people who have had dramatic results with their acne by changing their diet - specifically GFCF diet (gluten free casein free) which means no wheat and no cow dairy (so that means spelt bread, rice pasta, goat cheese and rice milk). We've been on this diet for a few years because of my daughter's health - and while it can be difficult, some see results in as little as 2 weeks. If you are receptive to the mental and emotional causes of illness, Louise Hay can be the most helpful person. Her ideas and step by step info have gotten me over what was considered to be a permanent illness and so much more. According to her, Acne is a sign that you do not completely accept yourself or you dislike a part of yourself. The upper back indicates lack of emotional support, feeling unloved or holding back love. If you could keep reminding yourself that are perfect, just the way you are for what you are here to do - love it, embrace it. If you can understand that, then you can understand that life does support you and in a way loves you - for you are a beloved child of the universe on your self-chosen quest and uniquely qualified to carry it out. Her books are awesome: http://www.hayhouse.com/details.php?id=267 Peace!

Dnt worry, back acne is quite common. i see heaps of girls in the gym with back/chest acne. I had a few pimples on my back--i treated them with tea tree oil. 2 days later they were completely gone. i use tea tree oil to treat the occassional pimple on my face--its remarkable. Ive used sooo many chemical/commnercial products-they all dry out my skin or dnt work very well. try using 100% concentrated tea tree oil. its cheap, readily available from ur supermarket/pharmacy and works really well. It kills pimples/acne because it has a very good anti-bacterial agent in it. it is also anti-fungal which is useful against athletes foot..fungal infections..etc. its useful 2 have in ur first aid kit..it treats sunburn, cuts, burns, insect bites..etc. Very safe 2 use-just dont take it internally. I heard about it from word of mouth by a friend who used it 2 treat her athletes foot & pimples. Good luck!!!! tell me how it goes!!!!! :D

i wouldn't feel too bad about it, 48% of all teenage anglo women have some sort of body acne, about 90% of it on their back also, i am in high school and see plenty of people in gym that have it all over their backs. it is kinda nasty but if it bothers you that much you can get laser treatment, they CAN surgically remove scars from any area on the body. although this treatment is exspensive there is hope. I have slight body acne mainly on my back and butt.

I have an acne treatment that has won me the best answer better then twenty times. Often, the person who voted it the best answer was amazed at how well it worked, even those who had severe cases of acne. I'll copy and paste it below. Use a hot compress on it, and then use cool water to close the pores. Do the process over and over again, about five or six times. Use soap to wash the area, and then treat it with an alcohol soaked cotton ball. It should be gone within five to six hours. Here are some of the previous comments I cut and pasted from those who voted it as the best answer, omg thank you! u r sooo awsome now my school pic will look GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Thank u so muc 4 ur help!!! It helped alot of my acne. thanks! Hey! THAT REALLY WORKS MAN THANX A LOT!!! Wow This Like Really worked!!!! Thanks! Now i don't have a big huge zit!!!
