I've had this condition for almost 2-3 years now. Over the counter stuff hasn't worked at all. Dermatologist just gave me some cleaning pads and some anti-biotics. Still nothing. Although, the antibiotics have worked to some extent. It seems as if when the pimple pops and or bleeds, I get these marks on my back, they dont seem to heal, nor go away. If anyone has any ideas as to what can help me out please tell... Thanks in advance.

As for personal information, I am a 20 year old male of latin descent, if that has anything to do with it.

Yeah, bacne sucks. Although my bacne wasn't as severe as yours, I dealt with pesky bumps on my back, shoulders, and upper arms last year. I did three things to make it go away. 1) started taking chinese herbs (i use sunrider products. They helps control your hormones and cleanse you from the inside out) 2) started using proactiv wash on my chest and back and invested in a good sponge. I am a woman of color, so I understand scaring. Darker people produce more melonoma, so it takes longer for marks on us to heal. Using a sponge to exfoliate the skin will help get rid of dead skin cells and prevent clogging of the pores. Don't scrub the pimples, as they will become irritated, but use the sponge on acne prone areas or scars. 3) the last thing helped the most. I stopped washing my hair in the shower. It sounds crazy but the chemicals in my shampoo and haircare products were seriously irritating my skin, so I started washing in the sink.
I did these three things, and I am completely acne free on my body now. I hope this helps!! Good luck

Homoeopathic medicine has good remedies to see that the acne rosacea on the face, chest and dorsal reigon which give a reddish tinge and sometimes get filled with pus and on healing leave a scar are gotten rid of. It has also remedies to see that they do no recur. Common medicines are kali brom, carbo animalis, lachesis, merc sol, calendula, echinacea etc.Which also help in reducing the scars to a certain extent.
