It depends on what type of acne you have on your back and chest - do you have mostly noninflamed bumps or are they red and inflamed?
If they are noninflamed, try a strong exfoliant - use a scrub and strong AHA like glycolic or mandelic.
If they are inflamed use a strong benzoyl peroxide - leave it on all night (but wear a white t-shirt so you don't bleach your pj's or sheets!). Also, consider getting a benzoyl peroxide solution with some sulfur in it - it makes the bpo stronger and more anti-inflammatory. Do NOT use a scrub to cleanse your back if you have this kind of acne.
Check your body soap for pore-clogging ingredients and make sure your laundry soap is fragrance free and has no water-softeners in it. Avoid using fabric softener and/or dryer sheets because they can leave a waxy residue on your clothes and sheets that will exacerbate your acne.
Below is a list of pore-clogging ingredients you should avoid. Good luck!

Getting rid of chest and back acne is the same as getting rid of acne on your face. Company's like Proactiv offers a great body wash designed especially for body acne.
== Answer: How do you get rid of back acne?== You can eliminate face, chest, back, and body acne, and reduce the amount of pimples and outbreaks that you have, no matter how many products you may have tried that failed. From the time that I was 13, until the time that I was 36, I suffered from severe acne. I had acne all over my face; and I also had blackheads all over my back. I had been a customer of Proactiv and Nature
yes wash your chest with non prefume soap everyday you take a shower
it should, thats what i have heard atleast, try it. i know im am going to.
Yes you can if you want to. If it were me i would try and find something to get rid of the acne but of course you can still wear a a bikini.
Acne on chest is usually not common but nor is it surprising, you can have acne anywhere in your body.
They did not have acne back then because they didn't have well any junk bad food.
Back acne is just acne (pimples\blackheads\redness\whiteheads,etc) that is found on your back. Anybody who suffers from acne can get it, and if you do have it you can invest in a body scrub or soap to use while in the shower\bath in an attempt to get rid of it. Hope this helps :)
to put salt Right ! :D
use proactiv! it helps a lot. if u don't wanna use it, just shower daily and wash your face regularly. that'll help :)
Microdermabrasion is great for cleaning out pores and shedding dead skin. It could definitely help get rid of your back acne but it will also help clear up any old acne scars you have on your back.
