Who gets it and does anyone have any tips?

I go to the gym and changeo outof the clothes when I get home and have shower.

I scrub my back and smash the salacylic acid but I'm still getting it. Super annoying.


Any tips?
 
I get it badly too. When you say scrub, are you using something like this?

And antiseptic soap?

PS how old are you? I used to have fairly bad face acne but that cleared up at 17, I thought the bacne might follow but if anything it's worse now, and I'm 28. It must stop at somepoint right?!

Pine tar soap done wonder for my acne. Never stopped using since it cleared it years ago.

Albiet more expensive
 
You could see if a bit of keto might help you.

I annoyingly still get spots in my mid-30s (not full on acne, but still more than I would expect at my age), yet they pretty much stopped dead the 2 months I was doing proper keto. They've come back now after going carb-crazy on honeymoon :D
 
This is the worst ' I take roids and my consequential acne has got out of control ' threads ever.

Joking aside I had this for a number of years, went to the docs and he put me on a very mild antibiotic that I had to take for about 3 months I think.

Problem went away.
 
I had quite a few spots when I was younger, I still get some but no where near as bad, we will all have lovely young looking skin when we are older due to all the oil in our skin.

I find most treatments a load of rubbish, if it bothers you that much go to the Doctors and get some proper stuff.
 
I get bacne still and I'm 28. Weirdly, I started using head and shoulders when I shave my head and it has done wonders for my bacne (obviously by applying it to my back, not through some sort of head-back osmosis).
