Case Summary  |  Acne on back


Condition Skin Acne
Case Description

About two years ago i started to break out on my back with these really stubborn pimples that eventually spread over my entire back. I have tried several over the counter acne treatments and nothing seemed to be working for me. I ended up with hideous scars all over my back that would not go away not even with skin lighteners or cocoa butter. I even went to a spa and they recommended a micro dermabrasion to remove the scars but it was something that i could not afford at the time. I started doing my own research and found a soap with sulfur in it and was able to control the breakouts immediately. The soap is by Kavi, it works very well and i saved a bundle on my microdermabrasion. You can actually see results after a week. I don't use it often any more because my acne is non-existent at this point.
