Try a product that has 2% salacylic acid in it if you are not allergic to asprin. Neutrogena Clear Skin Lotion. This also has retinol in it. Start out at night for a few weeks and then day and night. Another product is Clearasil Acne Fighting Moisturizer. This has just the salacylic acid. You can use these products on your body as well. The Clearasil is probably more cost effective for the body. It has more in the tube and cost a little less than the Neutrogena. Try this for 3 months and if it is still there you may need to see a dermatologist.
