Acne is a very common skin condition that usually develops around the teenage years, but may also be found in adults of virtually any age as well as pre-teen children. Cases of acne can range from very mild and barely noticeable to very prevalent and highly visible. Acne, while not life-threatening, often has a very big impact on self-esteem and can lead to scarring and even disfigurement in severe cases.

Nearly all of us have had to deal with acne at some point in our lives. This embarrassing skin problem usually affects the face or quite possibly the neck or down the chest. However some people also develop acne breakouts on their back, usually in the form of pimples, blackheads or other forms of acne similar to what develops on other areas of the body.

Unlike the skin on the face the back is a very tough area and can usually handle both medications. However, you may still want to try one area for a few days with both medications before treating the entire back. The area to the rear of the arm pit can get irritated from alpha hydroxyl, so you may want to avoid that area.
