Mild/Severe Back Acne-- Any tips or suggestions?

Hi Everybody,

I'm going to intern in IB this summer and currently have some dilemmas regarding my back acne. While most of it is gone with Accutane, there are some keloid scars and very small blood stains on my shirts (I try generally to wear non-white shirts), and it's a big insecurity of mine. Is there any advice on what I should do this upcoming summer? Does wearing an undershirt help hide the bumps/prevent small blood stains on my dress shirt? Just wanted to ask around here if anyone has had similar issues in the past and how they tackled it. I just don't want to give the impression that I'm dirty this summer. 


 

Had this issue and derm wanted to put me on accutane - said no cause of side effects. But could be an option. 

 

I do wash my back pretty intensely. What's the wash called? Willing to give it a try.

 

Try Panoxyl as a wash for your back. Would also suggest not scrubbing too hard to the point they bleed - that can spread the bacteria around more. If the acne is more cystic, consider going on something like Lymecycline which is a step or two down from something like Accutane. Minimal side effects and quite good at what it does. Shirts are a good shout to stop blood appearing through shirts but can also suggest pimple patches. Very discreet and can help solve the spot itself, but would also contain blood, etc. the whole time until you take them off.
