I seriously think the zits on my back, shoulders, and neck are getting worse than my face. What are some things you guys used to clear up your backne? Any help would be great..

Yeh, Erin, how's the egg yolk mask thing doing?? Are you still using it?

I've got much worse acne on my back than my face, and I've just been thinking about using the egg yolk mask on my back but I guess if you're asking a question like this then it doesn't work for that??

Erin. Are you male or female? I can't tell from the name but I think thats how girls spell it right? Anyways, I'm a 24yr old male and had moderate bacne since 14. Nothing has completly worked for me. Minocyline worked the best but I don't like taking anti-b's for long so I got off em. I've been using differin for 9 months and it helps but it still is pretty bad. Try using nizoral shampoo or a shampoo with zinc in it. These supposedly have anti androgen properties and if your a female it could be caused by androgens. Also, how old are you?
