How To Get Rid Of Acne On Face, Chest Area And Upper Arms?
HI, I m 19 years old and I ve been having acne problems since I was 12. My acne comes and goes but right now it has gotten worse. I have blackheads and bumps on my face, chest, and upper arms. I try to find treatments but they either burn my face or eyes. I am African American with light caramel skin. Last year, I discovered that I have small hairs that are becoming noticeable on face and neck. My question is what is a good and inexpensive product?

Hello
and welcome
i appreciate your concern
acne devlops due to clogging in ducts of sebum producing glands
In my opinion you should not touch or manipulate with these acne
wah with antiseptic solutions and try to keep it dry and clean
faulty dietary habits may be responsible for acne so watch your diet avoid fatty fried and junk food
have plenty of fluids and fresh fruits
you can apply any antibiotic ointment like clindamycin after proper washing
Hope this helps you
best wishes
