Back Acne Treatment - Get Rid of Back Acne


Definition

Back Acne also called as “bacne”. Bacne is the term often used to refer to acne infection occurring on the back. Acne happens when sebum, the natural oils produced by our skin, clog our skin's pores. The trapped dead skin cells, bacteria and hardened sebum later on cause infection in the pores, leading to acne. While bacne breakouts are more common among men than women, women have them nonetheless and they are just as unsightly and uncomfortable. Back acne is prevalent and it is harder to treat than facial acne. The back is made of tough skin with thousands of sebaceous glands that produce a lot of oil.

Acne is a very general disease. Almost 85 percent of people in between the age of twelve and twenty five develop acne. It is less often in women. The ration of occurrence of this disease in women to man is 1:4.

Causes

  1. Heredity: Back Acne has more chances to occur on your body if it has already occurred in your family like mom, father etc.
  2. Back acne possibly causes by overproduction of the sebaceous glands around puberty or during other times when our body experiences significant hormonal changes.
  3. Medication: Back acne may be occurred on your body due to a side effect of some drugs, including barbiturates, seizure medication and steroids.
  4. Tight clothing: Tight clothing might be one possible culprit. Tight clothing forces perspiration from the skin to be trapped against your skin which can lead to back acne.

Symptoms

  1. Irritation or itching on the back.
  2. Inflamed pores.
  3. The most troubling aspect of acne for many people is the scarring that can occur.
  4. Pink bumps on the skin.
  5. Pus filled lesions that are lodged deep and can drain.

Treatment

  1. It is important to keep spot-prone areas clean, so wash the affected area twice a day with an unperfumed cleanser.
  2. Oral antibiotics such as tetracycline can be prescribed for inflammatory acne. They should be taken daily for around three months, although it might take four to six months for the benefits to be seen.
  3. Wear cotton clothing and use powder to keep your back dry.
  4. Shower as soon as possible after perspiring. Never go straight into the steam room after a sweaty workout. Shower first to get rid of dirt and bacteria.
  5. Apply moisturizer if needed.
