Hello all!

During the summer months my neck breaks out horribly. They are usually large pimples that take days to actually go through their 'cycle'. But since they take so long to do that I get impatient and try to pop them, which almost never helps. What can I do to eliminate them!? I usually wear my hair up, but it looks like I have hickies on my neck so I have to wear my hair down.

Someone PLEASE help!

Have you tried washing with sulfur soap? What about applying Witch hazel to them? Any over the counter product? Breaking the pimples or washing them too much are probably the worst thing you can do! Have you tried rubbing some tea tree oil on them? :)
 
Where can I get sulfur soap?
Also, where can I get tea tree oil?

Should I try one at a time and see if it helps? Or rotate using them throughout an entire week?

Thanks for the suggestions! =)
 
HI, i get neck acne it makes you feel disgusting dont it. Anyway try them clearasil face wipes on your neck especially when you start to sweat and use tea tree on them.Dont use too much tea tree as it will sting. What treatment are you on? Try yasmin if your a girl or LYMECYCLINE
 
Keep in mind that some girls do not do well on ortho-tri lo. Some do. All bcpills are not created equally. Reg. orth-tri-cyclen did not work for my daughter but Yasmin did. That is because of the drsp in it that is comparable to spironolactone. Ortho-tri lo uses a different progestin.
 
I have dealt with acne for so long as I can remeraber. As much as you don't want to, try keeping your hair off your neck and watch what you wash your hair with. During the summer I sweat alot and if I have washed my hair with moisturizing shampoo or have ANY product in my hair my neck breaks out. Every couple of days I wash my hair with dish detergent which helps to clarify it and doesn't leave a residue on my neck. When the sweat mixes with the shampoo I ALWAYS end up with a problem.
