    There are specific body scrubs you can try!

    i also am a big fan of using pimple patches - i never used it on my body before though other than my face but it might work

    Drinking celery juice helped me get rid of most acne🤷🏽‍♀️ Each morning on an empty stomach and wait 30 min before eating anything else😅

    I used proactive's body wash leading up to my wedding (just on my upper back and shoulders) and it worked well.

    My recommendation is to talk with your doctor - they can prescribe creams or medication depending on what is causing your body acne. I had a ton of acne on my back when I got off birth control and my doctor prescribed me a combination of topical creams which really helped.

    Highly, highly recommend a 10% strength benzoyl peroxide wash. PanOxyl is the most common otc brand. Myself and 2 others I've known all saw different dermatologists (for body acne) and each derm recommended this.

    I second the suggestion to use PanOxyl! I have struggled with back acne for a couple years and just started using it and it has helped so much. Super easy to use in the shower. I've also used presoaked salicylic acid pads, especially if I workout and can't shower immediately after. I would not recommend over exfoliating as this can make the acne worse so I would stay away from harsh body scrubs. Also make sure to keep the area moisturized after using products with benzoyl peroxide as they are very drying. The skin on your back and other parts of your body besides your face is very thick so you need to use products that can really penetrate the layers of skin. Body acne is some of the hardest to get under control because of this.

    Body Acne 1Hey! Emiley this is Elle and I work as an health & wellness expert and in my opinion to tackle body acne, prioritize good hygiene with regular showers using a mild, non-comedogenic soap. Consider using products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and consult a dermatologist if needed for personalized advice or prescription medications. Consistency in skincare routines and lifestyle choices is essential for managing and preventing body acne.
