my man uses clean and clear facewash (in a purple-ish and white bottle, available at walmart for a couple bucks) and it totally clears it up. Much cheaper than a dermatologist too!! Hope it helps! :)

Try a complementary therapy. Aromatherapy- you get a massage and some sweet smelling herbs/plants which aim to help you i.e lavander rubbed into your back or whole body.

I'd like to know that answer too. I know something that helped me a bit. Get generic proactive at a Wal-Mart, or drugstore, and have someone scrub your shoulders before you go to bed. It should help clear it up in a few days.\n(If you buy the actual proactive treatment, it is VERY rough on your skin. It'll dry it out and probably make you break out again.)

Try a cream such as Acid mantle, Vaseline or Complex 15 after bathing, and re-apply the cream again several times daily.\n\nIf this does not help, change to a medicated cream containing urea (Curel, Carmol-20) or alpha-hydroxy acids (Aqua Glycolic, Lacticare) applied twice daily - it may be too irritating to use more often. More aggressive home treatment can be done if ones skin can tolerate it. The plugged pores can be removed by taking long, hot soaking tub baths and then rubbing the areas with a coarse washcloth, stiff brush, or 'Buf-Puf'.\n\nPrescription medicines that may help include antibiotics (Erythromycin, Bactrim) if the spots are very red and Tazorac Cream. Tazorac, a relative of vitamin A, may cause irritation in some people.

It's the little red spots on the backs of some people's arms.\n\nMoisturizers and/or cortizone. I've never found a true solution and according to my ex-wife (doctor), there really is none.

Have you tried wiping it with alcohol pads? Plain old alcohol is really good when it comes to cutting the grease on ones skin. I would recommend taking a hot shower to open up all your pores and then have someone help you by wiping your back with a cotton ball and alcohol which will clean the skin even better and close the pores along with drying up the oils. Sunshine is also good but not to much and not during the hotest hours of the day since you could damage your skin by getting burnt. My mother in law told me once she used lemon on her skin when she had pimples and that they went away. Watch your diet too and use something to scrub your back good when bathing.

1.Use an oatmeal or almond mask throughly to cleanse your face. Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with enough rose water to make a soft paste that spreads easily on the skin. Rub it on your skin with your fingertips, paying special attention the problem areas. Leave to dry for about 15 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.\n\n2.Apply undiluted lemon juice, two to three times a day, on the affected areas.\n\n3.A solution made out of one and a half cups of hot water and half a tablespoon of boric powder is an ideal concoction for blackheads, Saturate a face napkin in this hot solution and press on to the skin, repeat twice. Extract blackheads carefully with a blackhead remover and sterilized cottonwool. Pat on an astrigent.\n\n4.Warm a little honey and apply on the trouble spots. Wash off after 10-15 minute

What you describe could be a skin infection, "white heads" or other skin problems.  You can try to use a benzoil peroxide topical cream or wash and see if that helps. Soap or acne preparations containing salicylic acid might also be of benefit. It might take several days or weeks for these options to help clear your skin up, if they are going to help.\n\nUnfortunatly, if it is some type of infection, there are few effective OTC medications avalible and might require an Rx antibiotic to resolve the problem. \n\nOnly a doctor or other medical professonal can diagnose this problem for you.  If it becomes worse, spreads, or is of concern to you please seek medical treatment.

use a mask every week twice a week for it to lighten up spots and make them less noticeable also put a SPF sunscreen moisterizer on so the sun doesn't make them stand out then give it some time thats the best you can do

to remove the black spots the best way is to use a face mask which consist of; yoghurt and pure some drops of lemon in it and leave the mask for about 15 min every day, but i have to say that the resalts will start to appear after 2 weeks or so, and about the rough skin try to but some oil on your face before going to sleep, and wash it up in the morning.

There is no such thing as spot reducing.  You have to eat right and exercise, and eventually you will lose there too.  Throw in some extra core workouts.

Whatever you may try to remove them if the root is STRESS they will come back. Personally, my dermatologist told me to find an hobby or a sport to release the stress which is causing those. Then, to remove the stains, of any, you can also use a cream with glycolic acid (not to be exposed to the sun light..so use it at home for one or two hours and then wash it away before going out, or put it at night).

It might sounds strange, but here's how to make blemises a thing of the past!\nPierce a garlic capsule and squeeze the contents into approx. 1 tablespoon of your favourite moisturiser. Dab on blemishes and see the improvement in your skin. Don't do this when you plan to go out, though; remember garlic kept even Dracula away!A tried and true remedy for getting rid of blemishes and dark spots on your face:\n3 Large Fresh Strawberries\nVinegar with the Mother in it (you can purchase it from any Health food Store)\nMash up strawberries with your hands or a fork, pour just enough Vinegar in the container to create a paste.\nSpread on the problem area of your face,let dry and sleep with it on your face. Put towel on your pillow so you don't mess it up.\nIf you do not sleep alone, just make your mate aware, because it STINKS!!! but just imagine what beautiful skin you will have. You should see a difference in a week.

try thermal care patches and then if that doesnt work ask your mom to take you to your family doctor and he will tell your mom what you can do for your back

My advice:\n\n1.   At night, sleep on your side, legs slightly bent, with a thin pillow between your knees.  This will reduce the presure on your spine as you sleep.\n\n2.  Stretch your back several times a day.  A good one is lay flat on your back, rotate your trunk, with your left leg straight and your right leg bent, try to touch your right knee to the ground to your left. Then straighten your right leg, bend your left leg, rotate your trunk, try to touch your left knee to the ground to your right.  Another good one is when sitting, reach your right hand behind your head, and touch your left shoulder blade, then reach your left hand behind your head and try to touch your right should blade.\n\n3.  If your a student, you should have access to the campus health club.  Join, and ask to be shown stretches and exercises specifically for your back (explain that you've had some back issues).

get some icy hot patches. And get  some one to give you a massage. It also depends what kind of bed your sleeping in..Make sure its not that soft. Cause then your back is not stright and that will cause more pain
