How do I get rid of my body acne quickly?

Hi! I have acne on my body, being more precisely, on my shoulders, chest and a little on my legs.

Summer is coming up, and I really want to start wearing shirts and shorts that only cover half my thighs, and, show my collarbones plus a little under (so basically right above my actual chest area). Also I need to start wearing dresses.

I just got body acne maybe this year, and I have idea why.

I want to get rid of it quickly, maybe at least a month or two months, until I need it almost clear in my acne areas.

Please do not tell me to buy things like pro-active where I need to order it and things, and I can't go to a dermatologist, please don't ask why. Are there any methods I can use to quickly get rid of my body acne?

I already know exercising and drinking lots of water help, also eating healthier.

Can you give me some really affective and good tips to get rid of body acne? Also, some home remedies I can make, and when I say that, I mean simple home ingredients that I probably have that can be used as home remedies to treat my body acne.

My acne is not very severe, but I really don't feel comfortable with it. And I feel like its growing a little.

Thank you!

Update:

I'm also a girl! And a teenager! And my life is not stressful at all, so that is not one of the causes to my acne

    I had the same problem,follow these very very simple rules-

    1.wash your face and acne body parts 3 times a day..

    2.after taking bath dont apply too much of cream of moisturizer

    3.avoid oily food and drink water

    4 in evening clean acne areas with rosewater on cotton.

    5.OPTIONAL-apply mixture of almond oil and any moisterizer before sleeping at night!

    It worked for me,acne gone in 1week.

    Buy a plain acne fighting cleanser and use it on the acne in the shower and when you get out of the shower use stridex all over the infected areas but the leg acne could just be razor burn. Try shaving with more quality razors and baby oil as shaving cream

    I used to have an acne problem myself. Nothing really helped, it just went away on its own. I'm really not sure how well the Neutrogena body wash works, but that's the only product I've seen for body acne.
