Shoulder Back acne
This problem is for years ( may be around 10years). My shoulders, back and butt keeps getting acne. Although its one or two here and there, its keeps coming very frequently in different areas. The acne doesnt have pus unlike face pimples. They are raised bumps intially red which then dries off and turns dark brown or black. They appear considerably bigger in butt area as compared to the shoulder areas. As a result, my entire back has lot of dark round scars. At times, especially in night (with AC On), it itches badly. Kindly suggest a remedy. I tried some medicated acne soaps with benyzl peroxide but nothing works. Also application of baking soda.
