Sounds like you have exactly the same problem as me Pareezay. I get acne for a couple of months either during summer or when I've been stressed about exams, and it has been like this for the past 8 years, and mainly on my back.

This might not be a solution that is recommended or for everyone, but last year after more than 5 years I got fed up of being put on antibiotics and other acne drugs, that I just stopped taking them, because they weren't helping me at all. Instead, I get a microderm every month and use the MD cleanser. Alhumdulillah I haven't had any breakout for a year, depite the amount of stress I have been under for the last two months. However, I am hoping to be referred to a dermotologist soon to discuss removing the scars on my back by laser.
