Breakout after back massage

[Astronaut1298]

Hi all

I had a back massage 3 weeks ago, I noticed a week later that i'm starting to break out. I haven't used anything to treat it as I was hoping it would clear up on it's own and if I just avoid another massage but it's painful and was wondering if you could recommend anything i could use?

I heard good things about Acnecide but i'm not sure I can use it on my back as it says it's for use on the face

Thank you in advance

Maybe try a few days of showers using hibiscrub and yep, the acnecide is just fine to use on your back

@OtterInABox thank you so much for the suggestion. I'll give it a go :)

DD had stubborn back acne that needed to be cleared as a matter of urgency before she could have spinal surgery earlier this year. Tried the acnecide route but it was far too harsh and drying, as well as the issue with it staining all clothes, towels etc it comes into contact with.

In the end a salicylic acid body wash, clinisept (an antibacterial, antifungal spray) and a gentle moisturiser did the trick.
