Anyone else experience body acne?

I am 33 years old and about 1 and a half years out from my surgery. I lost 130 pounds and have been doing great until the last 3 months. I started to have breakouts on my chest, jawline and back (really badly!) and it almost looks like I have the chicken pox on my back! I have started to use Clinique and it is helping near my jawline, but the chest and body acne is still persistent. I use fragrance free/hypo-allergenic laundry detergent, careful not to spray perfume or hairspray on my bare skin, cleanse with good product and use an acne spray now. It has cleared slightly and I am going to the dermatologist in two weeks. I did notice it cleared up a bit when I was on a dose of antibiotics. Anyone else deal with this? I never had acne like this before!
