Pre teen body acne

My daughter is 12, she has been unlucky and suffers from mild acne and black heads on her face which we use cleansers and home made methods for which helps

Just noticed her upper back is covered as are her upper arms, hubby and o have never suffered from more than the odd pimple, and miss 14 is the same, never had acne, she's off to high school next year and whilst she's not too self conscious yet.... I worry she will be

What can we use?

My almost 13 year old suffers backne too. I took her to my GP who prescribed a gel to apply daily.

Thankyou, I know it seems like a stupid question, but like o said we've never really dealt with it!

Body washes that are anti-bacterial are good and make aure she knows to wash that area well, it’s usually the one spot we all neglect as it’s hard to reach so we’ll wash shoulders/lower back but neglect the arms and upper back.
