Hi, I'm new to this website but am impressed with the flood loads of information posted on acne. I used to have acne on my face and back. The face has cleared up mostly but these few weeks, I'm getting attacked by acne on my chest and back. They are not big huge angry zits but small inflamed looking ones. And the worst thing is they seem to be spreading!!! I'm currently taking doxycycline (which I absolutely hate cos it makes me nauseous half the time). For the skin care, Im using the entire proactiv regime on my back and chest. I've seen a doc and she prescribed me with Dalacin T lotion which doesnt seem to have much of an effect. I'm also using differin...basically i'm trying on different products to see which one at least starts to calm those zits. But still, i have not seen much improvement. Should I try mandelic acid? or should I stick to one of the above and give it some time to heal? I'm also concerned if its my new shampoo that is causing this breakout. Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
