I started suffering from chest and back acne from about the age of 39. I'm now 41 and am still suffering. Have tried many over the counter treatments and keep my skin as clean as possible. It really affects my self confidence! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi go and see your doctor and try some prescription meds. You may also need a referral to a dermatologist. Good luck x

your hormones maybe changing. Some people before they get the menopause as their hormones change get acne. Salicylic acid is quite good for those spots that are too deep to squeeze. I use Paula's choice clear anti redness exfoliating solution.
There are medical treatments you can have like, antibiotics or isotretinoin both have side effects though. If you acne is mild to medium, you can get laser treatment and you can also get laser for acne scars.
