Those who suffer from acne would say that the unaesthetic look is the main downside of this condition, ahead of pain and discomfort. Granted face acne isn’t particularly painful it can ruin your look, so it is easy to emphasize the aesthetics, but things chance when you suffer from back acne.

As the pores get clogged and lesions appear, there is a constant danger of back acne to lead to more serious conditions such as cysts and nodules.

Causes and Symptoms

Back acne (also called ‘bacne’) is a fairly common among people with facial acne. Sweat is one of the causes for back acne because it creates the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive and is also aggravates existing conditions.

Hormone imbalances are largely responsible for acne in all its forms and sometimes medication can have this side effects, particularly barbiturates and steroids. Sebaceous glands that are pushed into overdrive regardless of reason, will also increase the risk of back acne.

Repeat the massage two times a week to prevent and treat back acne.

Apply your regular moisturizer. Keep the remaining paste in a container with a tight lid in the refrigerator for up to five days. This remedy can be applied warm or cold.

22Lemon Juice
Apply lemon juice to acne scars on your back using a cotton ball. Leave the juice on your skin for 10 minutes before rinsing off with cool water. Keep in mind that lemon juice makes skin sensitive to the sun, so cover up your back with a shirt or wear sunscreen when going out.

23Exfoliate with Salt

Use cool water to rinse off the salt scrub.
