Millions of people worldwide suffer from acne, a medical condition which occurs when your skin's pores fill up with a large amount of sebum excreted by your skin's sebaceous glands This next piece of content will be specifically focusing on getting rid of back acne rather than focusing on common cures for facial or chest acne. Some activities like swimming which require you to be shirtless are almost always awkward when you suffer from back acne (which is exactly why there are tons of people that seek pieces of writing on how to get rid of back acne). I myself know a lot of people that suffer from back acne so I am certain that you will definitely benefit from the following methods to get rid of back acne.

• Clean fabrics have a great part in getting rid of back acne. By fabrics what is meant is anything that might come into contact with your back such as bras, pillowcases, towels, bed sheets, backpacks etc. Bacteria is known to greatly worsen acne, and since it is attracted to filthy things, you should always try and keep your fabrics clean. I don't know about you, but for me that's a piece of cake. Here's a friendly tip: Wash all the fabrics that come into contact with your back using chemical-free products as this prevents your back acne from reddening and becoming irritated.


• Frequent showers every now and then have been shown to decrease your back acne's inflammation and swelling. (This is because washing removes oils from your back that contribute to back acne.) Using anti-bacterial soap has also been proven to be helpful in getting rid of any bacteria you might have on your back which could have made your back acne worse.


• Exfoliating using loofahs, washcloths, or brushes can help get rid of any dead skin cells on your back thereby getting rid of your back acne. If you end up going for a scrub make sure you use the sugar-based ones because those are known to be softer for the skin than the salt based ones. Be careful not to exfoliate too much as that could possibly cause your skin to become too irritated and you'd be better off if you didn't exfoliate in the first place.


• Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are some of the most popular back acne remedies available. These can usually be bought from pharmacies and are best applied onto your back alone (i.e. you should not mix them together). These creams are best applied when your shirt is off as this allows the skin to fully absorb them and prevents your clothes from becoming damaged or bleached. Sometimes it will also help to test both options to see which ones work best for you.


• The final and most common method of getting rid of acne left for to try out is visiting your nearest dermatologist. For some, this may be the most common choice, but the smart way to do things would be to try out the back acne cures mentioned above first and then see a doctor. Take note that anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem all play vital roles in the treatment of your back acne, so joining support groups if you suffer from any of the previously mentioned is a great step to take.

That's it folks, you know know exactly how to get rid of back acne! My recommendation for you is to try out each of the above methods for at least 14days and watch closely for any results. The only time you should meet a dermatologist is once you've given up hope on the other back acne remedies I've previously mentioned.
