Hey people. I've have this acne for years and not really tried too many treatments. There is so much junk information out there i could not figure out what to do. My local derm is pretty worthless, at least for something like acne. I have taken low dose antibiotics with more effect on my bowels than acne.

What i want from this is some good realistic recommendations. I am not really willing to do an accutane or long term antibiotics as the side effects are so great. I am also not willing to spend $200 on the extract from a virgin brazillian pine tree. Treatment needs to be 'easy' enough to apply to half my body. I have no known allergies.

I am a 35 year old male, i am active, but rarely exercise. I use head and shoulders shampoo to keep my head from itching. I use irish springs aloe soap, typically 2 showers a day. If i do exercise i will shower directly after. I have acne on my stomach, sides, back (mostly shoulders) and butt. I would say the stomach acne is the most annoying, followed by the butt. I generally get very little face acne.

More pictures are in my gallery, includes butt shots.

Thank you for any advice you can offer.
