    Default body acne

    I'm sure there is info about this somewhere, but I've been searching and haven't found much. Maybe I just don't know how to search well.

    Anyway, I changed birth control pills after the last ones made me crazy. The new ones have been the best for keeping my mood even and normal, so I don't want to switch from them at all, but since I've been taking them I've started to break out all over my chest and back.

    I didn't even break out on my body like this when I was a teenager. It's extremely annoying.

    I was wondering if any of you girls have suggestions for good body cleansers or tips to help with the acne?

    I used to have that problem before I went on the pill. Neutrogena makes an acne body wash called Body Clear. Use that in conjuction with either the Nature's Cure (hard to find, comes with pills which I never took) or Clinique's anti-acne body mists. That combo seemed to work well for me. In my experience, there's not too much you can do to control hormonal breakouts, you can minimize it a little but it never goes away. Good luck!

    Try a good Natrapath or Homeopath.

    Use antbacterial wipes on your entire body after stage rotation and being on the floor for a while. This sounds gross but the sores/acne on you butt and back could be
    a skin infection from sweat, bacteria , and fungus from the stages. A girl that used to work at the same club had boils on her skin and rash like infections on her body. Management made her go home once they became aware, but she insited on working and said "the boils were only contagous if they burst"!! GROSS.... I guess there was no possibility of that possibly happening since she would bump and grind for every dance she did. If nothing works a dermotologist must prescribe you meds.

    I used to get bad breakouts on my back. Murad has a body acne spray that you can even use spraying upside down. After about a month my back is completly clear.

    Thanks for the advice everyone.
    I'm going to try some of the sprays.

    I do wash my body everynight after work. I'm almost positive it's not from the stage or dancing, because I've been dancing for almost 2 years and never had a problem until I switched birth control pills. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the pills. I'm going to try some of these options and if they don't work I'll talk with the doctor about changing pills again, but I don't want to if it can be avoided, because these pills have been the best for keeping my moods normal.

    AAGGHH!
    You should go to a health food store and get some pills for Chronic candidas. You can look it up on the internet. It is actually partially caused by the BC pills because they kill the good bacteria in your intestines. If you've been on antibiotics more than once within a year and BC pills at the same time you probably are just having some yeast intestinal issues; which will cause your breakouts.
    If you do a 30 day supply of the candida pills and start taking lactobacteria (acidopholus) daily it will help. I also know that eating a serving of yogurt every day helps. You can also do the sprays, but I would recommend an antibacterial soap like the cetaphil antibacterial bar, or Dial antibacterial, for every time you shower. Hope it helps. I have experienced this also because of being on pills for a ten year stint. Maybe you can try the Nuva ring.
