      Perhaps you can got to your Doctor. I had pimpers really bad for a long time and it gets better after the Doctor prescribe an anti biotic specially for the pimper.

        Hey, mintcc, i really like your spelling of \"pimper\". That's how most of us would pronounce it right? 😄
        Muffins, you should see your doctor to get antibiotics. Usually it should clear up after taking it for 1 month or so.

          Muffins:
          Since about a year, I have noticed big, pussy boils/pimples appearing all over my shoulders, and back.... I shower 2 times daily, and I maintain good hygiene practices. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

          The pimples only on the shoulder and back? Not face?

          Do you use a backpack or haversack? Maybe the bag is dirty?

          Which uniform vendor did you buy from? I heard that the non-BiBi BaBa vendor's quality is less soft than BiBi BaBa and can irritate sb with more sensitive skin. But your prob began long before right?

          I also notice my boy beginning to get some pimples on his back (the NJC uniform is quite thick and he perspires easily). Anyway I told him to use the facial cleanser (with oil control) to wash his back. Has not checked on him yet.

            I thought that was the caswe too, King

            Rascal, but though I've started using a sponge and a brush, they still seem to be reappearing! 😞 😢
            Actually I would not recommend using sponge and brush becos one needs to make sure these are cleaned after each use. Else becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. JMHO

            You can try using washcloth- it can be washed with the normal clothing daily.

              hi muffins, hv you heard of Dr Ong of the maple clinic. She’s really good at treating acne. I’ve no interest in her business but just to share that my son’s classmate and mum are seeing her, and my sis and I used to be her patients too.

                I had such breakout and the cause was my fav M&M. Whenever I feast on it, maybe a 200g pack/wk for 2~3 wks, I’ll get serious outbreak, the last round lasted for more than 1 yr!!!


                These days, I only enjoy a mini pack once in a while and the situation is very much stable.

                My sis on the other hand gets such eruption on her face when she consume prawns.

                Perhaps u shd examine your diet and try to figure out what kinda of food u r sensitive to, some of which may belong to what chinese terms as ‘heaty’ (roasted stuff) or ‘poisonous’ (beef, duck…). Also avoid oily food

                    Hi Jennifer


                    Good point about the possibility of bacteria breeding ground. I've been mindful of that and thus I would regularly replace it and would also soak it in boiling water to disinfect it. Similar to what I do for dish sponge.
                    :):):)

                      muffin,


                      pimples only on your back, how about yr face? If your face is ok chances are either the clothing materials are not that breathable or u can try changing your bedsheet more freq.

                        Pimples on your back could be due to sweat and oil produced during PE. Maybe you could change out of your sweaty attire as soon as possible, clean yourself with a small towel.

                        At home, use a clean washcloth to clean your back. YOu could also try to bathe with an an-bacterial shower gel.
