One would imagine acne’s enough of a nuisance without making matters worse by turning up in inconvenient places. Acne can develop on just about any part of the body, and unfortunately, the back is no exception. You may as well face it and come to terms with it as soon as possible, so you can put up a good fight to beat it. Play your cards right and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t come out on top!

Back breaking? Back acne is basically caused by excessive perspiration, which may be the result of physical exercise or exertion. The trouble is that the skin on the back is rather thick with plenty of oil glands, which tend to encourage the development of acne. The condition shows up as blocked pores, pimples, blackheads, cysts or whiteheads, all of which penetrate the skin more or less than others. If you feel that your problem is unusually severe, you may consider consulting a doctor.



Back acne may be a little more difficult to treat simply because it is on your back and practically out of reach. But there’s no need to worry because there’s plenty you can do to get relief. One thing that’s bound to make a difference is shedding your cotton clothing for synthetic material, because cotton tends to stick to skin that is damp with perspiration. You should also take care to see that your clothes are loose.

Good habits help. Taking frequent showers will also help you to feel better, although you will need to scrub your back, which may be difficult to do on your own. The best way to do that is by using a scrubber, which will scrape away dead skin to clear blocked pores so that your skin is able to breathe. Do try and use a body wash that contains salicylic acid. You could also use a pimple cream containing either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

All is not lost. Apart from everything you are trying to beat your back acne, you’ll be happy to know that there’s medication available just right for you. 101E Acne Getaway is a tried and tested natural liniment developed in China, reasonably priced at $ 34.95 per bottle and pleasantly perfumed. It’s free from side effects and perfectly safe to use. The product is a gentle cleanser that also acts as a moisturizer, so your skin does not dry out.

Acne Getaway 101E is an effective treatment for all kinds of acne will be suitable for you, no matter how old you are. Although the product is offered with a money back guarantee, with any luck, you won’t need it and your back problem will soon be history. So take care and don’t blow your problem out of proportion. Just make sure you don’t turn your back on it either! Cheer up and keep smiling!

I had very serious acne problem too and was ashamed to wear low back or spaghetti top as the back of my skin will be expose. My problem was solve when I use Clinique Body treatment spray. It costs about US$18-19 but in Singapore the product was discontinued. You might find it in States, Europe or Canada.

Now I am using Dalacin T Lotion from the doctor. It also helps control and prevent new pimples from forming and once a week, I will scrub and mask my back. Any facial mask and scrub will do fine for the back but try getting rougher grains from scrub as the skin behind will be much thicker.

I've had the same problem, and I've tried all of the things people mentioned including a ton of different medications, creams, antibiotics, etc. I would still have it if I never found this solution to my back acne: I go tanning 2 or three times a week. That's right, tanning. I decided to go tanning in the winter one year because I was going to Florida for vacation. I just wanted to look good by having somewhat of a tan. Well, after I went tanning, my oily skin started to dry out and my acne started to disappear. I could not believe that something this simple and painless could cure my oily skin and bad acne. Now, I go tanning on a regular basis, usually 2 or 3 times a week. When I first started out, I only went 1 or 2 times per week and that still helped out perfect. The only reason I go more often now is to stay dark tan. It's just something I enjoy doing. So if you go 2 times a week, the most it would cost you is $16 or much less per week. I don't think you can compare that price to clear skin! I hope you try it and I hope it works out for you too. Good luck!

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.
Source:
A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Some medications may cause or worsen acne, such as those containing iodides, bromides, or oral or injected steroids either the medically prescribed prednisone or the steroids that bodybuilders or athletes sometimes take.
Honey is a source of natural antibiotics that can speed up the healing process, as well as help prevent infections.

Dip and clean cotton swab in honey, put it directly on the affected area and leave it on for half an hour.
Wash the skin well with lukewarm water.
Another option is to mix honey and cinnamon together to make a paste and applying it over the pimples before going to bed. In the morning, there will be less inflammation or swelling. Wash the skin well with cold water. I suggest you to read this book for more info:

I've used Proactiv before, and it didn't work very well on me. I'm not saying it won't work on you, but it's way expensive ($40 a month) for the very little you get. Back acne is probably different than face acne, but I do know anything that has a grainy substance in it helps cleanse and exfoliate pores. I use St. Ive's Apricot Scrub.

But I would seek professional advice from a dermatologist.

Good luck :)

How To Take Pimples Off

Treatment for Back Acne:

As the skin on the back is thicker and stronger than the facial skin, the normal facial skin care methods will not be effective. You need stronger skin care methods to treat back acne. Combining two or more treatments of facial acne is the most effective way to treat back acne. Clean the skin with a gentle exfoliant. Then apply alpha hydroxy lotion and let it dry. Then apply any acne medication containing benzoyl peroxide liberally. As benzoyl peroxide is a good bleach, take care of your clothes or bed sheets when undergoing this treatment.

First, try switching to a mild detergent(no fragrance)and no dryer sheets or fabric softeners. Then Neutrogena makes an all-over body wash containing salicylic acid. Also,Walgreens and Walmart have generic versions of Proactive that run about $14-19 bucks. And they really do work the same.
