Acne everywhere- does anyone else get this?

Question

Ok so this is really embarrassing but I literally get pimples EVERYWHERE. Face, shoulders, chest, boobs, stomach, inside of my legs, butt, you name it. It's literally the most embarrassing thing ever and leaves me with plenty of little scars and dots. I've tried so many different products and even went to a dermatologist but nothing helped. Does anyone else have this? How can I get rid of them? I'm 17 almost 18 so it's not like I should still be getting shit like this.

Answer

You're not alone, lots of people - men and women - get acne all over, especially in their teens and early twenties. I get acne all over from the waist up and it can get super annoying at times. I've found that using exfoliating washes for my face and raw African Black Soap for my body help. Also, if you sweat a lot make sure to dry off or shower as soon as you can as sitting in your sweat for a long time will only make your acne worse. It's also likely hormones, especially since you're young, and may be your diet. See a dermatologist if it is becoming an issue for you so they prescribe you medication. Also, birth control has been known to help some women with acne, but this isn't always the case. Best of luck

Answer

I think you should go to a dermatologist, I am on medication for my acne and it's helped quite a bit but my issue is mainly hormones and my skin isn't completely clear unless I'm on birth control
