what causes back acne?
I wash my back just like the rest of my body and still get back acne randomly. What causes this? I’ve even used my acne face wash on my back and it hasn’t helped. I’ve wondered if it’s caused by my shampoo, but I’ve changed shampoo and that doesn’t help. Is there a special wash for your back to get rid of this?

NO, I don’t think so. It’s in your genes, if your parents had it, then chances are you got it from there. I spoke to a dermatologist when I was younger and there is no special wash for your back, which sucks. You just have to be extra sure to rinse well after the shower, try changing your shirt more often if you sweat a lot (the sweat will stick to your back if the shirt is soaked in sweat). If it is REALLY REALLY serious, and you can’t live with it, there are pills you can take, but they are for super serious cases of acne, and there are some serious side effects. Dry skin (horribly dry lips, nose, face, other parts), bleeding noses from dryness, dry eyes, etc. (they are different for everyone) but that’s only for those with horrible acne on their face and other parts of the body as well. If that is your case, see your doctor or a dermatologist.
Good Luck, and don’t get discouraged, hopefully with age it will go away!
I had back acne ever since I had them on my face and all through highschool…well for one thing I know that sunbathing helps
Reasons for acne have in 95% nothing to do with wash-lotions or bad hygiene. It’s usually caused by hormonal disbalance. You’d better contact a doctor. You should better go to a gynecologist and not to a dermatologist. I had some years ago acne on the face and the back – the only thing that helps in such a case is a certain typ of anti-baby-pill (in Germany where I live it’s called Diane 35). A doctor shoul prescribe it to you for medical reasons.
This pill has no more side effects than a normal anti-baby-pill have. Everything else won’t help, don’t loose your time with things like more washing, changing sweaters, using toothpaste and stuff like that. Suck things can only support the actual hormonal treatment.
I hope I can help you. I know how bad it is when one doesn’t know where it comes from. But the reason is surely inside and not outside of your body… Changing wash-lotions will surely NOT help.
And it is surely not genetical, don’t worry, it can be completely cured!!!
your skin is dirty. you must clean your face before you sleep. or, go to the doctor for safety..
