Go see a dermatologist. I have the same problem, but my derma gave me a cream for it - a cream that you can only get by prescription. So the best thing for you is to go see a dermatologist.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Go see a dermatologist first. You may not have 'bacne' but an allergic reaction to something. It could be the chlorine in the pool. You say it's painful..could you have poison oak? In any case, try a cool or tepid bath with oatmeal and maybe a bit of epson salt to help reduce inflammation and redness. Don't use drying soaps on you back. Try glycerine soap or an oatmeal soap that are fragrance free. You can also try oil-free shampoos and rinses to see if that may be irritating your back. Use a soft back brush or one those bath poofs to gently scrub. Don't use a loofa or anything that can scratch the skin. Try a bit of cornstartch or talc free, fragrance free powder to help absorb moisture and oil.
Hope ya feel better soon!
