Hi,

Welcome to HCM..

You gave history of acne more on trunk and arms. It may be called truncal acne. Many times such acne responds poorly to regular antiacne treatment. There may be genetic tendency. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Still, I would like to give few suggestions as follow...

- antibiotics like azithromycine 500 mg thrice a week
- isotretinoin 10 mg daily
- vitamin E 400 mg daily at night
- apply retinoic acid gel 0.012% on back at night
- vitamin E cream in morning
- stress and anxiety should be avoided

Above suggestions might be helpful in managing your skin problem...

Thanks.
