They have the same symptoms such as redness, swelling, irritation, and sometimes, the presence of pus. Also, like facial acne, the exact cause of back acne is generally unknown. But there are some habits that are known to exacerbate, if not cause, back acne. You have to remember that these habits are not the causes per se. A person has to be predisposed to acne so that these things may actually cause an outbreak of acne.
Wearing Restrictive Clothing and Backpacks
Some people believe that wearing restrictive clothing may cause back acne. Whenever you wear tight clothing, the sweat gets trapped in your back, keeping the oil trapped in the pores. Certain materials for clothing, such as nylon, also keep the sweat trapped inside and keep the air from getting inside. This could lead to the development of back acne. The same thing happens when you wear backpacks, especially heavy ones. Furthermore, these things may cause excessive heat, which will further exacerbate the back acne and worsen the irritation and inflammation. So, if you have back acne, the best thing you can really do is to wear loose clothing with breathable cotton or some other porous cloth that easily lets air in. Also, avoid using backpacks. Use a shoulder bag instead.
Poor Hygiene
Sometimes, the back is one of the most neglected parts when it comes to bathing because it’s hard to reach. Because of this, the back becomes a breeding ground where bacteria can proliferate. This is further worsened by the fact that the back is a body part that often sweats a lot during times of exertion or when the heat is intense. Thus, a part that needs a lot of cleaning gets an inadequate amount of attention during baths. This makes it quite susceptible to acne. So, if you have back acne, it might be because you are not giving your back enough attention. There are some topical ointments which you can apply, particularly those topical antibacterials that can reduce your acne. Furthermore, be sure to wash your back thoroughly with soap and water.
