I have many huge whiteheads on my chest. they have been there for years.
I can squeeze the black dirt out of the whiteheads on the white bumps sometime
What medications should I use?
Will the retinoids work, since I apply it on my face for acne treatmet.
Any suggestion appreciated

My doctor recommends Tazorac Gel 0.05% for body acne because of it's strength. Personally, putting Tazorac made my body acne three times worse than it was before so I stopped using it because I didn't want to waste money on a prescription. Obviously I was experiencing the initial breakout, but I didn't want to have three prescriptions for my acne (Differin cream for my face, Clenia Emollient cream, and Tazorac for the body). I think I'll start to use it before summer starts so I can get a normal looking body again . Good luck!

retin a should work just as well on your chest.
