Q: Acne All Over Back And Arms

asked by: victoriacanucker on March 11th, 2005

Over the past couple years i've had problems with acne all over my back and arms and even on my legs , i've been to do the doctor and he gave me some creme but it doesn't work.

So if anyone could tell me what to do or how to stop this that would be a huge help.

Also , the other problem I have , is that every time I itch or scratch my body , it will turn all red and will welt up within 5 minutes , thus I believe causing all the acne on my body , it's very frustrating and I can't seem to find out why this happens.

Acne All Over Arms And Back

You should go back to your doctor to change the cream he gave you before,because it did not work. He might give you another treatment. My daughter and son have the same problem. Acne takes time to be treated. All skins infection are like that. You need to be patient and continuing the treatment gives good result.

Good luck

:p :p :p
