High school sports with body acne?
First off I am a 15 going on 16 year old sophomore. I normally don t give 2 shits what people say, cause people with talk.
But for some reason this is holding me back. I care deeply about this. It s embarrassing having acne on your shoulders/chest.
I am a good basketball player but I haven t been playing for school because of the locker room. You have to shower and change in there. I know it d just be endless hazing. I don t wanna sound cocky but I am good, the coaches have asked me to play and I just give them a lame excuse. I want to but this is just holding me back. I shower daily/wash acne areas and nothing seems to work. I ve tried EVERYTHING from store brands to proactiv to x-out. And the same; maybe worse.
Has anyone ever experienced this...?
I wanna play but jeez I just can t over look this.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to ‘double bag’ your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat and oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
I never have had acne, a few pimples on my left chin where I am most likely to rest my hand.
The secret is never to touch the spots
The very latest treatment is super gross, but works: August 2014, T. Borody: Faecal transfer from someone with perfect skin (and I’d guess, same gender.)
