is there any shower gels that would help breakouts on the back?

CVS makes an acne body scrub with 2 % salicylic acid that's helped me, but I've been on (and now, for about six months, off) Accutane for a while. I get smaller occasional zits and once in a while a moderate cyst but it's nothing like it used to be. Unfortunately I still have little red nodules on my chest (I think I might have irritated my skin with a depilatory, though...erabarrassing).

I used the same things I did on my face--benzoyl peroxide (though it does bleach sheets and clothes, so be warned) and hydrocortisone cream (for bigger cysts)--on my back and shoulders, as well.
 
I have suffered many years from back acne/cysts. I bought some head and shoulders shampoo and back luffa (sp?)...has worked better than anything I have ever tried. I have oily skin so I use the shampoo for normal hair. Seems like a strange fix but I learned about it on these boarRAB and have not looked back. If I stop using it, I start to break out again.
 
hmj211 - SO THATS WHY MY SHEETS ARE FADING! hahahahah ohhh man. ok so in response to the original post, I use Neutrogena RainBath to help control pimples on my upper back. However, my bacne is reallly realllly not bad. I would say not noticeable bordering on less moderate. If I am feeling really self conscious, I spot treat with some toner after getting out of the shower. This seems to help.
