maybe it hides small zits but i think it definitely reduces the amount. i never get big zits on my back in the summer.

Will you get back acne if you get your back waxed?

FYP

Accutane is some strong stuff, in case people don't know.

OP: YSNSCTA

I took Accutane (different brand Roaccutane) when I was around 17-18 cleared up my severe back and chest acne, but also had side effects, totally destroyed my lips for example. Reading about the depression etc does ring true for me as well.

Dude, just go to a good dermatologist. And research yourself any drug that they want you to take.

For me it reduces bacne a huge amount because it dries up my back A LOT. I get bacne because i'm so oily, in the summer I can be dirty and sweating a lot but if i'm in the sun it dries up my skin and I clear up almost 100%

Do you get bacne from waxing your back?

are you tall? do you slouch?

i once heard a chiropractor suggest that slouching pulls the skin and tissues of back tight and interferes with normal pore operation resulting in back acne. theoretically this means good posture will solve your problem in time.

I am tall and definitely slouch all day long at the computer. I wonder if that's it.
