Blackheads and Back-Acne don’t only appear on the Back ,appear on Face Also. There are plenty of other places those breakouts can pop up. The chest, neck, shoulders and upper arms, and even the butt are all common places to get pimples. Back Acne is so common it even has its own name: bacne.
Preventing Back Acne
You can’t always control whether you get acne, because the main factors that predispose you to developing bacne — hormonal fluctuations and genetics — are out of your control.
1.Avoiding certain medications
Some drugs, including androgens (male hormones) and lithium, are known to increase your chances of developing Back-Acne. If you are taking any of these medications, talk with your doctor about possible alternative treatments.
2.Limiting your use of oil-based skin care products
Try not to use moisturizers, cosmetics, sunscreens, and any other oily products on your back, because they can lead to acne flare-ups. Whiteheads, also referred to as closed comedones, develop when a plugged follicle stays closed and underneath your skin, forming a white bump.
3.Eliminating pressure on your back
If you carry a backpack or wear sports equipment, like shoulder pads, that places pressure on your back, try not wearing it for a while or, alternatively, wear a clean cotton T-shirt under it. Prolonged pressure and friction from these objects on your back can trigger certain types of acne breakouts, called acne mechanica.
Treating Back-Acne
1.Trying an over-the-counter treatment
These products can be used to control mild acne flare-ups and include ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulfur.
2.Practicing good skin care
When you have Back acne, it’s especially important to properly care for your skin. This includes regularly washing your skin with a gentle cleanser, taking a shower after you exercise, keeping your hair clean not squeezing or picking back acne lesions, and avoiding excessive sun exposure.
