Ok here's my story. I've had really bad acne since the 6th grade and about a month ago I finally went to the dermatologist for it. I had acne on my face, neck, back, and shoulders. I also had acne on my upper arms but it wasn't too bad so i really just talked about my face. She prescribed me doxycycline,benzacline (in the morning) and trentinoin cream (night). I started using panoxyl 10% for my face but it was too strong so I switched to 4% but that was also too strong so I switched to cerave. I heard you can use panoxyl on your body so I have been but it dries out my body and makes me itch and I thought I'd just have to ride it out but i feel like it's too strong and just irritating my body (10% & 4%) I also put the trentinoin on my arms. my point is idk if this is eczema or acne? It doesn't look like acne and one side is worse than the other. My next derm appt is months from now but I want to know now. Should I buy a body wash for eczema. I was thinking black soap from shea moisture for eczema

It looks like ingrown hair that can lead to acne or pus. I use to have those also. You can check out my post. It'll help hopefully.

It looks like keratosis pilaris.

I've got the same thing. I've had it ever since I can remember. I honestly can't be bothered with it.
