Don't know if it's an old wives tale... ..but a drop of whiskey on a spot or insect bite helps to kill infecton and reduce inflamation.... Its what I use. And the bottle is out so might as well have a glass too....win win !

Sounds like you need a back sack and crack! Go into a beauty salon and ask for this and your spots will clear up almost instantly...... I promise

My acne was awful, my doctor referred me to a dermatologist and they suggested sunbeds. 3 times a week for only 4-5 minutes a time to start, best thing I ever did. I don't even wear foundation anymore

Tea tree oil. Cheap, available in lots of places. Relieves redness and inflammation. Kills bacteria and fungi. Dont put it on if the skin is broken or it will sting!

Dab on neat with a clean cotton bud and air dry. A bit pungent but effective.

Session on a sunbed, the UV rays will clear it up in no time, notice on a sunny holiday with a tan you don't get spots.

Actually I had noticed they clear up when on holiday... just don't like the idea of a sunbed, heard too many horrible stories about them giving cancer etc?

Step 1 -Dry the feckers out with an astringent like a really strong cleanser or facial acid.

Step 2- use tea tree oil to bring down the redness.make sure you check the bottle as some need to be used in steam and some can be applied straight to the skin.

Step 3 - keep hydrated so the skin doesn't get too dry as it will then just make more oil. Shower everyday when you get home from work.

2 showers a day at the moment, air dry too.

Just using dove at the moment, as any perfumed soap seems to make it worse.

I've had success with extremely strong alcohol. 99% isopropyl.

However, this probably isn't a very clever idea, and certainly shouldn't be used long term.

our son has always suffered with a very spotty back and bad acne. he has tried every cream and tablet going for spots/acne but nothing worked 100%.

he has now seen someone and found out he has an issue with oil in the skin and was given a cream that has cleared his back better then anything else and it continues to get better, so my advice would be if there's no improvement see a specialist and find out the cause before further treatment

As much fresh air to your back as you can every day.

Eat as cleanly as possible i.e.lay off sugar and fat. Eat greens.

Wear natural fabrics.

Wash your back every day with hot water and a greaseless granulated face wash such as clean n clear.

DO NOT TRY ROACCUTANE.

The side effects are major and include possible liver failure and levels of depression which have caused numerous suicides by people being prescribed it. It can clear the spots by killing the glands which secrete the chemicals that cause the spots, but you seriously need to want to take the risks before you contemplate taking Roaccutane.

There are plenty of options to try first.

I'm fining the L'Oréal men expert power plus range fantastic.

Recommend either the green micro bead one or the black charcoal one.

Both have a good amount of scylacilic acid to help disolve all the sebum out

Urgh, outbreaks are naff.

Don't know if you've heard of Lush, but I suggest going in store and asking about their coalface soap. Bit pricey but it does work wonders. Or at least it does for me.

A doctor won't prescribe that until trying more mild antibiotics such as doxycycline or lymacycline as roccutane is very harsh on your skin (drys it out extremely can cause flaking etc also dry eyes)

In what way?

Once you've got it on try to exfoliate it with a lightly coarse sponge etc

All of these products will dry the skin and then afterwards they contain astringents which tighten up the pores to try and stop new ones forming,

As the skin is dried out and tightened any blackheads/clogged pores you didn't clean out will either get pushed to the surface or get trapped and become a white head

With it being your back I'm guessing it's hard for you to scrub it well

Because it's your back and therefore hard to get to in terms of topical preparations I'd say have a couple of sunbeds. One or two, for a short time, won't make a significant difference in terms of skin cancer risk/wrinkles, but may well help clear the skin up.

Roaccutane is a long term (6 months or so) treatment that's only really suitable for very serious acne due to the side effects.

You won't

I'm fair as anything but because I only have a few minutes at a time it doesn't give you a tan. Plus on most beds these days you can switch off the face tanner section and just have the UV light on your body. If you say it clears up during the summer anyway then I think it's an obvious choice

You can only have this prescribed after a referral has been made to a consultant and the consultant is in agreement you need the medication, the checks carried out before taking this medication and throughout the course are stringent, the side effects are pretty vicious and no one knows what side effects you will get apart from your skin drying out so much you feel like a prune lol, you will also come to love lip balm and will go through pots of the stuff along with body and face creams

Do your research and be fully informed, you will have flawless skin if treatment works but it does come at a cost

Or jizz on a towel and then roll around it. Or attach a funnel system to your cock, with hose draped over shoulder. Cum over your own back.

Or cum, in ice tray. Freeze it. Then place jizzy ice cubes on your spotty back. As the cubes melt, the acne will disappear like magic!

Alternatively, sunbed.

Please no arguments today

If you don't normally have them may be worth a trip to the doctors especially if you haven't been for a few decades

if yoy haven't had a piss or blood test and a general check up may be an idea to just have a check up as well weight height etc

I believe spots can sometimes be a symptom rather than the cause
