Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I understand your concern but acne is very common on back and buttocks as they are also the sites of oil glands.
These are the most common sites of acne after facial acne.
You should avoid applying oily creams and lotions on back and buttocks, eat less of sugary foods, avoid wearing tight clothes, wear cotton underwear, avoid hot humid weather, avoid oiling of scalp and don't pick acne lesions.
For black marks you can apply a cream containing kojic acid like kojiglo forte or kojivit ultra on the marks twice daily.
These are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
For stretch marks creams and oral medicines won't be much effective.
You need to go for either laser treatment or fractional photothermolysis.
