For the past 13 months i have had terrible acne all over my back and ONLY my back.
I have been to the doctors and they've told me to get more sun (particularly helpful in the middle of winter ) and use hibiscrub.
I have tried various acne skin washes/lotions etc and nothing is working.
I now have horrible scars all over my back as well as the acne. Its more big red painful spots rather than small whiteheads
I went to see a dermatologist about another skin problem completely unrelated 6 months ago and mentioned this to them and they just shrugged and said wait til summer and get some sun. Probably because my appointment was not for that problem and they didn't want to get into it.
Has anyone else suffered with this? Can anyone else recommend anything I can try?
I'm trying to get back to the doctors for a referral to dermatology but I've been ringing every day for 6 weeks and just keep getting told no routine appointments available and to ring back the next day
