Acne is creeping....

Starting on my torso. They say to not stay in sweaty clothes and make sure you shower often. I sweat so bad in my sleep it's impossible to not lay on a sweaty sheet.

What types of things keep your acne to a minimum? Drugs/routines/etc.???
 
i went through 6 months of accutane, prescribed and monitored by my doctor. it cleared everything up and i get tons less now when on. the worst part about it though is the nosebleeds and chapped lips/dry skin. definately worth it in my opinion though.
 
The really simple method of controlling acne on the body is wiping off with isopropyl alcohol. I used to have acne problems on my back, front and shoulders (none on my face though), and a coworker suggested the alcohol. The explanation of why it works is because the skin produces more grease/oil/waste on a cycle, and bacteria thrive on the grease/oil/waste on the skin. Wiping off quickly with alcohol kills the bacteria, and thus the acne stops. You have to do it every day, but it is worth it.
