Much like facial acne, there is no single cause for the formation of acne on the back. However, experts presume that it maybe due to the same factors that cause facial acne, which include overproduction of the sebaceous glands around puberty or during other times when our body experiences significant hormonal changes. When too much sebum is produced, pores and hair follicles can become clogged, thereby attracting bacteria and leading to acne.
The Solution:
- Exfoliation – a great way to get rid of dead skin cells that tend to build up on the back.
- Anti-bacterial items – Wash the back with an anti-bacterial cleanser formulated for the face, while staying away from drying soaps.
