How can I treat acne on chest??
I have acne on my chest area and regular cleansers and scrubs don’t work. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to be working so it looks weird if i wear a v-neck so do you have any recommendations?
After cleansing and toning twice daily, one can try topical anti-acne products applied to the actual blemishes also twice daily. Look for products containing anti-acne ingredients such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, sulfur, resorcinol, etc. Many of these are available over the counter (without a prescription) in the United States. In many countries (not the US) topical anti-acne products containing antibiotics are also available without a prescription and can be very helpful.
