    There's nothing magical about getting rid of acne. The best thing you can do is see a Dermatologist who can put you on a regimen of antibiotics and other medications.

    #1. Wash your back with Cuticura soap.
    #2. Wash anytime sweat appears.
    #3. Limit the use of sugar.

    Doxycycline, a prescription antibiotic, helps.
    So does Retin-A cream which is also a prescription.
