Body Acne Treatment - Roaccutane a

last resort?

Spots and other nasties on parts other than the face have led to a surge in body acne treatment products, such as Roaccutane and Retin-A on the market which is good news for sufferers. Body acne can be most difficult to treat as it is often in difficult places to reach.

Key areas of discomfort are chest, arms, and even the legs. People that excercise or work in physically active roles often need body acne treatment. Tight leggings, or man made fibres that do not allow the skin to breath definitely do not help.

Body Acne Treatment - First steps

The first thing you should do (before using serious products like Roaccutane and Retin-A) is to make sure you shower twice a day with a mild soap free cleaner, exfoliate regularly and then apply treatment topically. If you are excersising then shower immediately after sweating, dont leave the gym and plan to do it at home. You can use salicylic acid based products to kill some of the bacteria  

Body Acne Treatment - Keep it natural

Then you should focus on wearing as many natural fibres as you can. That means cottons, fine wools and even cashmere if you are lucky enough to be able afford it. This will allow your skin to 'breath' and not get to sticky and led to further inflammation.

All of these should be done before you commence with body acne treatment as there is a good chance you could solve the problem without going further.

Body Acne Treatment - Professional Treatment

However, if you have tried all the above and you still have problems then don't be shy to ask for some professional body acne treatment. Lotions and potions not recommended for the face  are used on the body as they can be so much stronger. Enlist a friend or boyfriend/girlfriend to help if you are lucky enough. 

If this still doesn't work after a few months then request a tougher body acne treatment based on

Body Acne Treatment - Retin A & Roaccutane

Retin A. Then a further step down the line is to go on a course of oral antibiotics. You must finish the course even if you see an improvement, which I hope you will see. A final step could be to take Roaccutane - the big boy of treatments with associated nasty side effects so make sure you have tried everything first before this and that you understand how it will react with your body. Good luck!
