I have some terrible acne
like lesions on my back. Is there anything you can recommend?
First, you need to see a doctor if it is really acne. The retinoids like Accutane work great for acne on the back. You need to take the medication for at least 8-12 weeks to see the results. It is only available with a prescription. Try it –my personal belief is that retinoids are the best treatment for acne. Some doctors may not give a prescription to young women-because the drug can cause birth defects. There is also a topical formula which is also effective. Wear cotton garments and change clothes if you sweat a lot. Avoid use of fragrant containing deodorants.
