Acne help please
I read in one of the other threads about sides but can anyone help with a recommendation for acne on shoulders and chest that are there as a result of a cycle? Maybe something OTC?
I appreciate it!

Most people go straight for the accutane - but it's a prescription and it's harsh. Doxycyclene is another less aggressive script.
Some OTC options - most of these are about drying out the acne to get it to go away.
- Nizoral shampoo used as a bodywash
- Vitamin B5 / Pantothenic acid - you can load this for a couple of days - seems to work well for esp those nasty deep ones. Also applicable for hormonal acne from "that time of the month"
- shower a couple x/day
- zinc
- sun or tanning bed
- use witch hazel after shower
- use a mild anti-bacterial soap
- use a Retin-A acne cream (watch being out in the sun with it however)
- soak in Epsom salts
