Cause
-
One reason acne may itch is because you are treating your skin problem with products that are too strong for your skin type. If the product has a fragrance, it may also irritate your skin.
Misdiagnosed
-
Acne can sometimes be misdiagnosed when in fact you could be suffering from a different skin problem, such as eczema. If you are misdiagnosed, you are most likely treating the problem with products that are too strong or have the wrong ingredients.

Untreated
-
If you leave your acne go untreated, the condition will worsen. However, keep in mind if you do not treat your itchy acne, it will also become worse.
Back Acne
-
Back acne develops when pores become clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil. This develops into blackheads or whiteheads that turn into cysts that itch.
Treatment
-
To treat any type of itchy acne you must keep the skin clean with a gentle moisturizer. Exfoliate daily to remove any excess oil and dead skin. You can also use over the counter products like benzoyl peroxide.
