How to Get Rid of Back Acne (Bacne)

Back acne can be a particularly difficult form of acne to get rid of. However, if you have back acne (aka "Bacne") don't worry, there are many effective ways to get rid of it. Refer to the steps below for information on the best ways to get rid of back acne.

Instructions

1. Getting Started

   To start, it is important to know why back acne occurs. The most common reason for such acne is from not properly washing your back. This causes dirt, sweat, and bacteria to remain on your back and create pimples. Consider purchasing a loofah or a sponge will an elongated handle that is capable of scrubbing those hard to reach places on your back.

2. Deep Cleansing Scrubs

   Using a deep cleansing scrub will help remove any bacteria that is on your back or trapped inside your pores. Neutrogena and Biore are two skin care companies that make excellent products for this.

3. Topical Treatments

   Head down to the store and pick up a tube of acne treatment that contains Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid as the main ingredient. Such treatments have been shown to be effective in eliminating back acne.

4. Keep Clothes Clean

   Always be sure to avoid wearing dirty T-shirts. Sweat and bacteria get caught in the fabric of clothing, which can then be re-exposed to your back causing acne to spread. Also be sure to keep you bedsheets, blankets, and pillows clean to avoid contact with acne causing bacteria.

5. Avoid Tight Clothing

   Try to wear looser less constricting shirts. Tight shirts will cause bacteria to get locked inside your pores, which causes back acne and other blemishes.
