Back acne is one of the most frustrating and cumbersome skin problem. It can appear in the form of pimples, blackheads or even cysts. There are a few ways to treat back acne and keep it at bay.

1 – Use anti bacterial body wash that are specially for body acne. As the skin thickness and texture is different from our face, you need a body wash that is a little stronger than your acne facial wash. Also, do not use regular soap.

2 – Use a dry towel to pat on your back dry after shower. Do not rub on the acne area as this may aggravate it.

3 – Put on some powder on your back to keep it dry and prevent perspiration. Also it is best to wear cotton clothes if possible.

4 – Dry off your body after exercise and try to keep the body dry. It is best to change your clothes if you have perspired a lot.

5 – Apply Benzoyl Peroxide or AHA on your back. There are topical solutions that can be used for treating back acne. You can also try acne body wash that contains these ingredients.

6 – Exfoliate your back a few times a week. You can use sea salts to scrub your back to get rid of dead skin cells.

There are other treatments available at the dermatologist if you have very serious back acne. However, it is best to try out natural treatments as they are safer and better for the long term.
