How to get rid of back acne is the second most searched query on the internet for acne treatments. The first most search phrase for acne treatment is getting rid of facial acne. Facial acne is the most impacted area on the body. Also known as Bacne, back acne has the same characteristics as facial acne. It comes in all size and forms. It can appear as simple forms as pimples, whiteheads, blackheads to serious forms such as cystic acne. Back acne affects people of all ages. To get rid of back acne requires an understanding of the causes of back acne. Just like facial acne, there are many causes of back acne.
One cause of back acne is the oil glands on the back starts to overproduce sebum, the oily subtance known to cause acne. Under normal conditions, the oil secrets through the pores of the skin. When there is too much oil being produced, the pores get clogged, which blocks dead skin cells from leaving the body. This in turn atracts bacteria and thus the formation of acne. As the skin on your back is much thicker than your face, the pores on your back are also larger than those on your face. As such, they are more proned to be clogged.
Another cause of back acne is the wearing of tight garments or the constant rubbing of carrying heavy backpacks. To get rid of back acne in this situation is quite simple. Wear looser clothing and allow your skin to breathe.

The back skin is more thicker than your face, therefore to get rid of back acne requires a bit stronger treatment. A popular acne treatment is Benzoyl Peroxide. Use about 2.5 percent on the back. This is far too strong and harsh for your face.
Showering, especially after heavy exercising, helps to maintain clean skin. Perspiration may actually block the pores. Exfoliating the skin helps to keep the pores clean. Exfoliating treatments can be purchased (see our top acne products which contain all natural ingredients). Make sure they contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid which are exfoliating and pores un-clogging agents. These topical treatments can sometime cause skin dryness, redness, and sensitivity to the sun. This is due to the products containing chemicals instead of natural ingredients.
