Back acne, now often referred to as ‘bacne’.

Like all acne, bacne can take on several forms – as blackheads, papules (pimples), and painful cysts and pustules which form deep in the layers of skin.

Back and body acne can occur at any time. It develops in teens when sebaceous glands overproduce sebum (oil), which can clog pores and hair follicles. This ultimately leads to acne breakouts and infestation. However, back acne, is not exclusive to teens, many adults (especially men) struggle with back and body acne.

Causes of Bacne-

The primary cause, however, tends to be from sweating, poor hygiene and lack of proper skincare.

• Sweating while working out, playing sports, or working long hours in the heat, clogs pores, trapping oil and preventing dead skin cells from shedding. This leads to acne.
• Poor hygiene and
• lack of proper skincare also contribute to back and body acne.

Secondary causes-

• Dandruff
• Stress
• Polycystic Ovarian Disease
• Seborrheic dermatitis

Many people who are acne-prone, tend to focus on treating the face, and minimize the care and attention to the rest of the body.
