Hi this is my first time posting and I'm completely tired and depressed with my acne. I've been suffering with cystic acne that has left huge crater scars on my back,chest, shoulders, and face and I still get acne! I am a 23 year old male and I've been getting persistent acne since the age of 14. The acne and scars have really put me down in the past and I am so self conscious about my back that I never take my shirt off and it is ruining my sex life . I need help I've tried everything from accutane to a whole bunch of other over the counter treatments. Nothing is working and I am now not taking any medicine and trying "washing with water only" treatment. Does anyone have any advice for me? One day hasn't passed where I think about my skin and how much it's affecting my life. Has anyone had the same type of acne as me or know how to cure this type of acne? Thanks
firstly your chest acne is quite mild and you back acne is moderate if not mild.
You may ask your doctor if you are a contender for accutane.
Murad has a line of products for body acne including a body acne spray from sephora.
Make sure you shower every day, do not over exfoliate as it spreads and exerberates the problem.
Cut out dairy and limit yourself to one small sweet thing per day.
