I have had acne on my upper back for a couple of years and my GP had given me loads of medication to use but all of it stopped working after a certain amount of time so i wondered if there was a more natural way to get rid of it. It’s more of a scar issue from old spots rather than spots on my back.

Get an exfoliating pad or brush with a long handle so you can reach your back easily. They make anti-acne body wash. Use the body wash with the exfoliating brush to wash your back. Make sure you shower right away after any exercise that causes you to sweat.

Caucasian Kefir, a natural, God given, pro-biotic drink (which you ferment yourself with the Kefir culture grain in milk, so it’s dirt cheap!!) to fix skin problems and many many more ailments from the inside out. It will treat acne much faster than Roaccutane, and has no known side effects, you can’t beat nature!!! Search the internet for “Caucasian Kefir.” Some people give it away free if you can’t find it free search at ebay or other online sites that sell it.
Here is a testimonial Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 5:03 am Post subject: Acne gone in three weeks, wow!!
I’m 49 years old and developed acne in my early 40’s. My son had acne as a teenager and went on roaccutane (horrific drug). It cured his acne, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. My daughter had serious cystic acne and wanted to go on roaccutane as well recently, which I was very much against, but she is 20 years old and has suffered for years. It has scarred her back, chest, her upper arms, and of course her face. I couldn’t understand why we had this problem, because we have the perfect diet (I thought). I was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer five years ago and we did a drastic change of diet, as in extreme healthy. Also, there is no history of skin disorders on either side of the family. The skin problems, however, persisted. Four months ago I started making kefir with kefir grains that I bought on the internet… if you google you will find several suppliers. Also some people will send them for free. I happened to start taking Udo’s oil and fish oil at the same time. It was a coincidence. My skin was clear within three weeks. My daughter had just finished a course of antibiotics for her skin (very much against my wishes as I think that in most cases antibiotics are a waste of time and dangerous to boot), and was clamouring for the roaccutane. I had to persuade her to use the kefir and flax oil/fish oil combination. She’s used to me trying out all sorts of combinations over the years.
Finally she gave in and within three weeks (NOT kidding here, it happened so fast, just like for me) she was clear. We drink the kefir and take the oils at the same time.
I looked up ‘Kefir Flax oil’ in google and came up with Dr. Johanna Budwig, who was a German scientist who claimed to cure cancer with a flaxseed/quark (kefir, cottage cheese…) combination. It sounds far-fetched but actually she was nominated for a noble prize six times. Alot of info on good fats/oils was discovered by her.
On top of clearing our skin beautifully (no lumps, bumps, irritations of any kind… we have great energy.
This has worked for us and I wanted to share it.

Try changing laundry detergent.
Also, what about trying facial toner (astringent) on it. Or get a loofa for in the shower, helps get rid of dead skin which can cause acne.
