I just wanted to share since I originally read about this here on the acne board a few years ago. I'm 32. At 22 or so I developed acne on my chest and back, tons of little red marks all over making it difficult to wear a v-neck or any shirt that wasn't high necked. At 25 I went on a course of accutane that completely cleared it but it all came back. I didn't want to continue accutane so I searched for another solution. Someone here suggested cold showers, I tried it, and within 2-3 days I saw a 50% improvement. In a week, about 90% improvement. My routine is to take a warm shower, then for a minute 3 separate times, make the water freezing and stand under it making sure it hits different parts of my chest and back. Pretty much everything else that I tried just irritated my skin, I even continued to try some washes after I found cold showers to work since they were unpleasant. I'm so happy that I found a solution not involving accutane that is guaranteed to work.
