Okay, so here's the problem. For the past .. 4 months I've been some - what battling acne. I started using Pro-Activ and it worked. Took away some of the dark spots I had. I still had little acne on the chin, so my doctor perscribed something stronger, which I'm using now.

I have a tendency to pick pimples, so of course I picked the one I had and now there's a mark, like I fell and hurt myself or something. I want it to go away, I know it's not going to happen over night.. But what would help in getting rid of it?

I also have acne on my back pinch.gif Any suggestions?

well when you pick pimples...normally a nasty scab appears and leaves a scar. theres nothing much you can do about that =[...i've been there before though. i'm a pimple popper myself.

all you can do, is use what you doctor prescribes you.
i read in a magazine, for the back acne you just use your face wash and use it on your bakc while your in the shower.


also...make sure your washing your face twice a day, and look for sylicic (sp?) acid in your face wash.
