At times we get acne on our back, which are frustrating as we cant reach them, they take more time to heel, unhygienic as they get rubbed by our clothes because of which they can spread, and leave nasty scars.
Lets see what we can to treat them :
- Dandruff is the prime culprit in causing back acne. Try using “selsun” or "nizoral” medicated shampoos to treat your dandruff and while washing hair let the foam come down the back and gently rub it on the acne.
- Visit a doctor and get anitibiotics, because skin of back is thicker than the face, which means acne is more deep rooted so its less likely that any topical wash/ ointment can be that effective.
- Try Salicylic acid 2% or 10% glycolic acid, stronger medication can penetrate deeper.
- Avoid back being rubbed harshly like with bagpacks and stuff like that, wear light clothes because additional pressure and rubbing from your backpack has to make your back even worse.
Stay Beautiful :)
