Acne on back
I have back acne. They cover the whole back. I do take whey protein as a supplement and actively workout. These acne are not painful but look bad when i take my t-shirt off. They were even before i started with whey protein. I read about it and found that it is due to dairy products which constitute the major portion of my diet. What should i do to get rid of them?
