can anyone relate

I get big painful deep acne on my back, back of neck, around ears and earlobes, shoulders, chest and even stomach now. I am 30 years old now and have had acne on my face and back since i've been 15, but now for the past 2 years or so i am starting to get them on my neck, chest, stomach,and ears. These are areas i never had a problem with before. I have tried all the washing methods and different acne soaps out there, all the antibiotics, some which have worked temporarily but they always come back. I know my problem is internal and not hygiene related. I've read lots of acne and health books and tried all the different supplements, vitamins, herbs, apple fasts, etc..... cant figure it out, some things work for a very short time, but thats it. Maybe there really is no cure. Any suggestions would be appreciated greatly.

Hi,
In stubborn body acne benzoyl peroxide which is used to bleach fabrics has been found to be very effective. You can discuss this option with your dermatologist.
