Body acne occurs mainly on the upper back, neck, chest and sometimes on the the legs and arms. It can range is severity from mild pimples to cystic acne and is usually more severe than facial acne.

- Try to be aware of what can cause irritation, just by making some small changes you will notice a big difference.
