Bacne Anyone? (Back acne)

At 17 weeks FTM, I'm getting pretty annoyed at my bacne. Anyone else getting this too? I break out in random spots and they hurt not to mention itchy skin. I try not scratch but it's becoming unbareable! Any recommendations?

    Have you tried switching the soap you are using?  Maybe try using a moisturizing body wash instead of bar soap (if that's what you are currently using).  

    I was anxious about my skin around the time of my wedding, so I used "Jason (that's the brand name) tea tree oil body wash" and my skin looked great.

    I have it too and have NEVER had any body pimples in my life! I've been trying to exfoliate more often and if I get a yucky red one (esp on my chest, ewwww) I treat it with witch hazel and they go down pretty quick. It's a lot of hormones unfortunately. DH also helps by checking me over where I can't see and he scrubs my back really well where it's hard to reach. I use "black soap" for my body and it seems to help some.

    I had bacne for a while but it went away when I swiched soaps. I still have acne which sucks because I didn't even have this much when I was a teenager. Now I have to spend time on my face every day, which I never used to do. If I forget I wake up the next day with new pimples.

    Ugh me. I'm so annoyed. Bacne and Chestne. haha. It's actually worse on my chest. I think it's a combo from the heavy moisturizer I'm using for stretch marks plus hormones. The pores are just naturally smaller on our backs and chests (especially chests) so the pores clog easier. I got a loofah/brush that has a stick on the other end of it to try and exfoliate better....still feels like a lost cause. I'm just making sure to use Vitamin E for scarring.

    Since I've been about 8 weeks my back had broken out to the extream. I'm embarrassed to wear anything but a t shirt. Just because everyone can see it. I've used so many things and nothing has works. But I guess a daughter steals her beauty from her mother so hopefully after I give birth things will work out a little better for me. I haven't had acne anywhere on my body in 5 hears except the occasional ones on my face duing my time of the month. If u find something let me know.

    I got rid of it on my face and back, but it's crazy on my neck and chest. Nothing I do helps.

    I too have back and chest issues! I have always had very good skin. I moisturize a ton and even get facials once a month. I also have it on my forehead near my hair line. I was wondering if it came from my hands as when I read I sometimes rest my head on my hands.. but I am afraid this is just part of these awesome hormones!

    I'm going to switch soaps. I've been using an antibacterial soap and then dabbing with Melaluca oil (tea tree) from DoTerra. It's helped
