In Reply to: SOMEONE HELP!!!... i have acne on my back and I can't get rid of it... and suggestions??? posted by LIBBY on August 30, 2000 at 19:51:28:

I also had moderate acne on my chest and back. The regular soap and lotion I was using seemed to make it worse--too much oil. Several months ago, I began using a tea tree oil soap from the health food store. I use it on my body and face as well. The results have been amazing! The acne on my chest, back and face have cleared considerably. Another tip: take a warm bath (don't add bubble bath!) and put about 10 drops of pure lavender oil (also available from the health food store) in the water. It will also help clear it up, as well as condition your skin--and it's relaxing too!

Hope this helps. Good luck!
