I used Head and Shoulders about a month ago and it TOTALLY broke me out!!! All over! Arms, chest, and stomach some, oh, and some on breasts. It's been about a month and the breakout didn't go away. After I got the breakout I stopped using it. Is there an initial breakout from head & shoulders? Thanks!

so starting 2 weeks ago trying the head and shoulders method (Classic clean)

what I did:
Everyday with my 1-2 showers I lathered H&S all over my body. I then would stand out of the water for 3-5 minutes at which time I would rinse off the H&S.
Results:

By day 4 my bacne was looking improved then from that point I started breaking out.

My problem area is only my middle and some on lower back.

after day 4 my common areas began breaking out, followed by my shoulders my chest and bad under my breasts areas that never broke before.

I stuck it out because I wanted to give it a fair chance, I did a full 2 weeks.

Yesterday was my last day with this failed trail. I currently have my lower shoulders (almost to my biceps), under my breasts there are 3 big pimples (I have never gotten a pimple on this area) and my usual areas my upper and mid lower back all broken out.

What a disaster

Huh.
You know.. I've read the salt bath threads and the cider vinegar threads.. but never really took the time to read the H&S threads on here.. and I'm kinda starting to regret that.
I think I should've tried that before goin to the derm and her prescribing a bunch of medications. :/
I really don't want to stop the process and use H&S now cause she said I'd break out a lot for a bit before it got better.. and I would hope to get that stage over with by the end of the first month using so that I don't have to go to school with my face and everything covered in acne :/
I hope this medications work.. or H&S will be the first thing I buy for my bacne.
