Backne causes and cures

Back acne or“Backne” is very common among teens and young adults. Athletic clothing which may trap sweat and dead skin cells (such as abrasive gear like football shoulder pads) and a general over secretion of the oil glands in this area can cause breakouts. Treatment and the right skin care can help you see clearer skin more quickly. Gentle exfoliation like Enzyme exfoliation and Microdermabration will not only help you get rid of back acne but also lightens acne scars.

You may see clearer skin from Back Facials or Bacial it if you

• Have a few blemishes on your back (mild acne)
• Developed back acne recently
• Have a mix of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples on your back, but nothing that’s painful or goes deep into the skin (moderate acne)

Anyone who has deep, painful acne on their back (or anywhere else) will need a dermatologist’s help.

Things to take care of

o    Wear loose-fitting workout clothes made of cotton fabric.

o    Wash workout clothes after each use.

o    Shower and change clothes ASAP after working out (or doing anything that causes you to sweat).

o    Antibacterial soaps, astringents, and abrasive scrubs can worsen acne. Ditto for loofahs, back brushes, and buff puffs. For best results, you’ll want to use gentle, fragrance-free skin care products.

o    Avoid using anything that rubs against your back, such as a backpack. 

o    Protect your skin from the sun. You’ll want to apply sunscreen to all skin that clothes won’t cover.

When to see a dermatologist

o    It can take time to see results from treatment. If treatment works, you may start to see results in 6 to 8 weeks. Complete clearing can take 3 or 4 months.

o    If you don’t see any difference in 6 to 8 weeks, you may need a dermatologist’s help. With a dermatologist’s help, virtually every type of acne can be successfully treated.
