BACK ACNE: Back Acne Treatment

by Rowena Banks

Back acne

You don't have to wait for back acne, or "bacne" as some people refer to it, to go away on its own. You can see brighter skin more rapidly with the correct treatment and skin care.

Even so, you might be able to clear your back by yourself.

Who has the ability to treat back acne at home?

If you do the following to take care of your skin:

  • Have some small acne scars on your back.
  • just developed back acne
  • On your back, you have a variety of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples, but nothing that hurts or penetrates deeply (mild acne)

Anyone with painful, deep acne on their back (or anywhere else) will require the assistance of a dermatologist.

Effective over-the-counter back acne treatment

Over-the-counter is referred to as OTC. It is slang for any remedy that is available over the counter in medicine.

According to studies, when used in conjunction with acne-friendly skin care, the following over-the-counter acne medications can help clear mild (or moderate) back acne:

Emollient foam wash with benzoyl peroxide:

This aids in killing the acne-causing germs. It can control back acne and lessen flare-ups when used regularly.

There are two benefits to letting the benzoyl peroxide remain on your skin for a while.

This strategy aids in the medication's skin penetration. On the back, skin is thicker than on the face.

How to treat your back with medicine

Get treated on your back for it to be effective. You can administer the medication more effectively if you get a lotion applicator for your back.

If you're unsure of where to find one of these, simply search online for "lotion applicator for the back."

You'll also need acne-friendly skin care if you want your treatment to have the desired effects. If you don't have acne, it can flare up even when you are treating it.

Dermatologists advise the following for the best outcomes for their back acne patients:

  1. Create these routines whenever you exercise or perspire.

Wear comfortable training attire made of cotton or a material that wicks moisture.

If you can't take a shower immediately away, use an oil-free cleansing wipe to gently cleanse your sweaty skin. You should also change out of your sweaty clothes.

  1. Gently cleanse your skin.

Scrubbing skin that is prone to acne, even if it might seem like the best solution, makes the problem worse.

  1. Stop using harsh skin care products that irritate your skin.

Acne can get worse while using astringents, abrasive cleaning methods, and antibacterial soaps. The same is true for loofahs, buff puffs, and back brushes. For best results, use gentle, fragrance-free skin care products.

  1. Makeup and skin care products free of oil should be used.

On the package, you might find the words "non-comedogenic," "non-acnegenic," "won't clog pores," or "oil-free."

  1. Steer clear of wearing anything that presses against your back, such a bag.

Change your backpack for a handheld bag; if you carry a purse on your shoulder, position the strap on your arm; anything that rubs against your back might irritate your skin, causing back acne to flare up.

  1. Avoid popping or picking at pimples, even on your back.

Acne will get worse as a result.

SELECT THE CORRECT SUNSCREEN

Purchase broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic sunscreen that is water resistant and SPF 30.

  1. Sun protection for your skin.

The sun can actually make acne worse, despite the common misconception that its rays will help treat acne. Acne tends to deepen and remain longer when exposed to the sun's rays.

Always use oil-free sunscreen when outside to help clean up acne. Any exposed skin that isn't covered by clothing should be treated with sunscreen.

If you need a dermatologist, when

The effects of treatment can take some time to manifest. If the medication is effective, you might start to observe changes in six to eight weeks. Three to four months may be required for complete clearance.

You could want the assistance of a dermatologist if after six to eight weeks you don't notice any improvement. Almost all forms of acne can be properly treated by a dermatologist.

Frequently ask question about back acne

Q: Can hormonal imbalances contribute to back acne?

A: Yes, hormonal imbalances can contribute to the development of back acne. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or hormonal disorders, can stimulate excess oil production and increase the likelihood of acne breakouts, including on the back. Consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a dermatologist or endocrinologist, can help identify and address any underlying hormonal issues.

Q: How long does it take for back acne to clear up?

A: The duration for back acne to clear up can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the acne. With consistent and appropriate treatment, mild to moderate cases of back acne may start showing improvement within a few weeks. However, more severe cases may take several months to clear up completely. It's essential to be patient and follow a regular skincare routine for the best results.
