This type of truncal acne needs oral medicines for it to get settled and then creams for the left over pigmentation if its der. Few things like dandruff if u have, should also be treated simultaneously also. If you wish, u can send the pictures and proceed with the treatment through online consultation.

I can understand your situation. Well pimples on back can be difficult. Only creams will not help you with your condition.
It will be nice if u can book an appointment online and share pics.
