Back Acne
Back acne is prevalent, and often harder to treat than facial acne. The back is made of tough skin with thousands of sebaceous glands that produce a lot of oil. Acne on the back is often more severe, sometimes with many nodules and cysts.
Back packs can aggravate or even cause back acne. Heavy back packs rub on the upper shoulders and back causing irritation and clogged pores. Avoiding blended polyester materials and dark colored dyes in clothing may improve or limit the occurrence of back acne.
