2% concentration of salicylic acid plus the added benefits of ingredients such as colloidal silver and tea tree oil to help slough away dead skin. Comes in a spay, easier to reach the back.

Paula’s Choice does a spray (Clear Acne Body Spray) that is perfect for backs – it’s really helped me and I wish it was around in my worst back-pimple teen years! Really easy to use on your own as well, which is a big bonus.

My only tip with it is to leave it to dry for a couple of minutes before putting a shirt on. Doesn’t stain, but then you don’t feel sticky

Pretty sure it was sunjeanie who recommended I buy Phisohex for my daughter for her teenage acne and we did and it works really well for her, better than any other wash we tried (so thank you!)

Thanks Sunjeanie, I had been thinking about Phisohex so i might go with that first and go from there.

I’ve said this what feels like a million times, but I would recommend Phisohex for anyone with that type of problem.

It’s an antibacterial face wash, but would certainly still work for the back I’m sure. About $10 for 200mL at most chemists and even supermarkets (Coles, Woolies), or around $20 for 500mL at the chemist.

Also perhaps get your hands on some exfoliating mitts. Much easier to reach those harder to reach places, and you can wash them too, to keep off bacteria which could re-feed the problem.

Don’t go crazy exfoliating right now (as that would be really painful!), but use in conjunction with the Phisohex once he’s ready and healed up more, and hopefully you should have a winning combo!

If you need a stronger product, perhaps try Proactiv or Benzac AC, but these can be quite drying and a bit like bleach on the skin. Phisohex is good as it’s gentle and doesn’t disrupt the natural pH balance of the skin, but eliminates the bacteria.

Just remember these things can take time to heal up, so have patience, and good luck.
