Back Acne

Back acne, often referred to as 'bacne,' is a widespread skin condition that affects many individuals. Similar to facial acne but occurring on the back, it can range from mild to severe and can be particularly stubborn and challenging to treat due to the skin's thickness and high oil gland density in that area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Treating back acne effectively often involves a combination of topical treatments, such as medicated washes or creams containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, and lifestyle changes like wearing loose-fitting clothing and showering after sweating. In more severe cases, a dermatologist may recommend oral medications or specialised treatments.

While diet doesn’t directly cause back acne, certain foods may trigger or worsen acne in some people. It's advisable to monitor your diet and avoid foods that seem to exacerbate your acne.

Preventive measures include keeping the back clean and dry, using non-comedogenic skin products, changing out of sweaty clothes promptly, and avoiding the temptation to pick or squeeze pimples, which can worsen the condition and lead to scarring.

While poor hygiene can contribute to worsening back acne, it's not the sole cause. Factors like genetics, hormones, and stress also play significant roles. Regular cleansing can help, but over-washing or harsh scrubbing can irritate the skin and exacerbate acne.

If your back acne is persistent, severe, or causing distress, it's a good idea to consult a dermatologist. They can provide a more targeted treatment plan and prescribe medications if necessary.
