shoulder acne

Yes, I have shoulder acne that is really hard to get rid of. I don,t like to use chemicals on my skin, so

I use outmeal soap and other kinds of natural soap. Nothing seems to work. Thankx. I am 29 year old male

Hi

I do understand your concern. Acne however may have a bacterial component which may explain why certain herbal remedies or supplements may not be enough to resolve this. For nonsevere forms of acne, applying benzoyl peroxide and salycilic acid based preparations may help. If this appears severe and persistent, your dermatologist may give you oral antibiotics and may lance or drain the affected areas to hasten resolution. Apply sunscreen over the area especially when staying for long period outdoors. Heat, dust and certain stressors may aggravate the condition. Also, only wash with a mild cleanser.
