You need a good face cleaner and moisturizer. If your acne is more than a pimple or 2 I'd suggest getting Proactive. Try that for a month or 2 to help clear it up then see if you can go with your average cleaner and moisturizer.
Dont' forget to moisturize. Most people make that mistake because they thinkk it's gonna cause more pimple when in fact its the opposite. Dry skin is a bigger culpruit for causing zits and a clean and moisturized face is going to help avoid zits.

I very rarely get acne on my face, in fact it's clear for the most part. However, i get extremely bad acne on my shoulders and my back. It seems to be getting worse over time. It started on my shoulders and it slowly started to appear on my upper back and now its down to my lower back. Im also getting a few on my upper chest area. After all of this happening after 5-6 months, my face is still fine. I use triaz 9% cleanser for them and it only works for my face.
I just dont understand why all of a sudden i am getting them. I hate the fact that i am afraid to take my shirt off now and have people look at me in disgust when i go swimming or go in the shower after a workout. It sucks.
Could be more of a whom came first the chicken/egg type thing. I was thinking more from the perspective where your sat fats are likely higher if you've added a little more red meat (or yolks etc...) to your diet, which in turn will increase test levels naturally (not to injectable levels of course). That would affect you hormonally speaking, so it would be hard to say which one is really the cause.Fat isn't going to cause acne - it's a myth.

I have a 2 word answer for you
Increased Testosterone
I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
hey guys i could not be happier right now! this may be fairly hard to believe, but i have actually found my "answer". not the real cause but i pretty much found a "cure". im not bullshitting but i know how fucking frustrating acne (or worse) is and what effects it has on self esteem. i dont want to make it sound like im plugging it so i will keep the name quiet until someone wants to PM me.
in all seriousness, on friday night i got it in the mail, put ONE drop on each cyst/pimple and in 2 hours it didnt hurt to the touch anymore. (they were about the size of a shirt button each) my face went a little red and blotchy on the spots that i put it on and it stings a bit but later that night it went away. i notice it only stings on parts of skin that has the problem so you can feel it working. it continues to sting for about an hour. its antiseptic, antibiotic, antiviral, and antibacterial. it has an odour but its not annoying. best of all its *completely* all natural, theres tons of other uses (that you can take it internally for) and really friggin cheap and they send it quick (im in canada, it took 4 days with free shipping in canada). im actualy going to cancel my dermatologist appointment next week which i have been waiting about 4 months for, especially after greenman PMd me about his dermatologist experiences. its been 2 days now, and its completely gone, except for a light darker spot where they used to be...this is fucking amazing. best 30 bucks ive ever spent.
by the way, i mentioned in my earlier posts that i took tetracycline. over the last 3 years i have taken it about 4 times, in 2 week periods, and eventually it built up a resistance and was the worst about 3 months ago, and i took a 3 month cycle up until 2 weeks ago. my digestive system is so fucked from it that i MUST take probiotics with food so i dont get any problems. i will never take any antibiotics again for acne. pharmaceuticals got nothing on the shit that i just mentioned.
