Leave it alone

Son grew an acne on his back at the upper right part of the shoulder. He was conscious and I told him to leave it alone. Of course experts on the diseases of the skin will disagree but I have my own reason of telling my son to let the acne be. When I was a child I grew one on my foot and got swollen because my mother applied a topical ointment that seemed to have aggravated the acne. Or maybe it was my frequent scrutiny of the sore acne that had made it worse. I was brought to the hospital where it was operated.

There are lots of back acne treatment that could be available. Aside from application of these topical stuffs, I think it is best that son changes his lifestyle by adding exercise to his daily regimen. I also think that his focus on dieting should continue to help himself have a clear and healthy skin.

I asked about the back acne this night.  Trace is almost gone.  The diet is having an effect.
