Body Acne
Body is a difficult type of acne to deal with. It can manifest itself on the back, shoulders, chest, legs and can range from very mild to severe. Back acne is by far the most common and is often due to similar reasons as facial acne.
Back acne can however, be the result of contact acne, meaning that it can be a reaction to the clothes you are wearing. It can even be due to the type of detergent used to wash the clothes.
One common thread in back acne is an increase in oil production on the back combined with the irritation of skin. Irritaded skin, combined with oily skin, creates acne.
Body acne is often hormonal
It seems that a lot of body acne is also hormonal, and therefore hormonal treatments will be very beneficial to people who have pimples all over their body.
It is NOT recommended to scrub your back or to use anti-oil products on your body acne as this will often worsen the condition.
