Back Acne Program
Back acne is a clothing and sweat problem as much as a skin problem. We treat it with back facials, peels, IPL when you are a candidate, and home care you can reach. If the only plan is a face cleanser in the shower, that is why it has lasted.

It can flake. We time body peels around events the same way we time face peels.
Is this covered as dermatology?
