Back Acne Treatment
Back Acne is another severe types of acne. The symptoms are similar to acne on face it is more traumatic than facial acne as you can not lie or sit on your back. Back acne is indicated as red pimples, papules and pustules often filled with pus. There are various cause of back acne including the cause of other types of acne like lack of vitamins, weak immune system, but back acne usually appear in summer due to harsh weather.
Tight clothing that can not breath, using harsh bath soaps, body cleansers and rejuvenators and body oils all may contribute to back acne. Tight clothing restricts the discharge of sebum within hair follicles. When sebum and sweat accumulate within hair follicles, there develops inflammation and a bump appears. It is called whitehead and it is the initial phase of acne breakouts. When the bump is filled with sebum or pus, it is called blackhead or pimples.
Avoid tight clothing, bath soaps, detergents etc. Eat balanced diet and do include vegetables and fruits in your diet. Do have a wash twice a day at morning and before retiring to bed. Daily baths greatly reduces the risks of having acne as washing on daily basis washes-off all accumulated sebum on the upper surface of the skin.
