    Anybody heard of treating back acne with head and shoulders shampoo? Does it work?

    I never heard of it. But it might work because of its main ingredient : zinc pyrithione.
    Zinc pyrithione is best known for its use in treating dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It also has antibacterial properties and is effective against many pathogens from the streptococcus and staphylococcus class. Its other medical applications include treatments of psoriasis, eczema, ringworm, fungus, athletes foot, dry skin, atypical dermatitis, tinea, and vitiligo.
    It doesn't say anything about acne, but some acne medication use in their composition zinc and some information providers claim that zinc can clear acne.
    So, you can try it and share your experience with us.
