Chest Acne Anonymous
Hay, /fit/.

I've got fishbelly white flesh and very small breasts. I rather like my tanless skin and the lack of mass in my boobs might be tolerable, but I also have some nasty chest acne to go along with them. Now, if my aeola were the only spots of pink on my chest, it wouldn't look so bad. But with all of the blemishes around them, it offsets my chest and my breasts don't "stick out" against the paleness of my chest, but get drowned out among the rest of the pink and look pretty pathetic/ugly. Maybe I just have ugly boobs, but I really think that eliminating my chest acne would help the whole area look better and would also allow me to wear something other than t-shirts (high collar, no chest exposed) all the damn time.

I found this bit of advice via Google:
http://www.chestacne.org/treatment/
but I wonder what over the counter stuff they're referencing. Have you any advice on how to eliminate this stuff and keep it under control? Just scrubbing with soap doesn't seem to be doing the trick and dries my skin out and makes it painful.

Any advice would be welcomed; I know I'm not the only person on /fit/ suffering from chest acne. For the record, I've got some icky backne as well, but it's easier to hide.

Pic related, though more severe than what I'm dealing with.

I'm not a troll, I assure you.

Tanning will help to eliminate acne, or at least control it, but I'm not interested in tanning at all.

Are the oral treatments effective? It's something like three+ months of antibiotics; and then you're just done?

ALL ABOARD THE CANCER EXPRESS, WOOT WOOT! Might as well slather yourself in carcinogens while you're at it, OP. I hear those work wonders for acne.

Only if you do it constantly. Like those wrinkled bags of fuck that you see on the beach.

Once or twice to purge acne, especially when you're a basement dweller anyway, isn't going to give you cancer.

birth control pills (if you really are a female). Use it for acne.

I used to have back achne but it just went away with time (2-3 years). During that time I tryed a few achne creams and found that useing them on a clothed area was a bad idea.

Achne creams generally contain benzoyl peroxide, which is also a bleaching agent, so make sure you wear white singlets under what you usually wear or you'll end up ruining your best shirt.

Birth control pills have a million different affects if given to a million different women.

It could make her acne worse.

actually, there is a large placebo controlled experiment with birth control pills on women and they have been proven to reduce acne
