[QUOTE="slsh, post: 285984, member: 8"] This sounds above and beyond "normal" acne. I definitely would see a dermatologist. I don't believe arm and chest areas are typical for this degree of breakouts. Poor Jess - being 13 is tough enough. I'm glad she's handling this challenge well, but it's got to be tough for her. Sending her good thoughts! Just an off the cuff suggestion - have you tried tea tree oil? One of oldest son's nurses suggested it when he hit puberty and I was really amazed at how effective it is. It's a natural ... not antibiotic but... ugh, can't think of the word... disinfectant, that's it. I just put a drop on a q-tip and apply to affected area and in a day (honest) the redness is gone. It's not oily but it does have a strong smell (I like the smell, but you/Jess might not). Might be worth a try - I picked up our last bottle at Kmart, but GNC also carries it. [/QUOTE]
