Acne on the back it is quite common and many people are affected by this skin disorder which is also called 'bacne'. His word is derived from the English term 'back' and acne to be able to define it as the dreaded pimples on the back.
Although the bacné may not seem like it it is much more common than normal and it usually appears in adolescence, creating serious trauma. We don't like good weather to come, we have to show off our bodies and have to show off a lot of pimples on our backs. For this we can offer some guidelines that may be useful to solve this problem.
What is the bacné?
Banne is a disease or disorder of the skin It stands out for the appearance of acne to a lesser or greater degree on the back of a human being. It usually begins at puberty with the increased androgens. This type of genetic-hormonal disorder of the sebaceous gland is much more common in adolescents between 14 and 15 years old and one of the most frequent visits in the dermatology office.
It can manifest itself in two different ways, between inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions. Some will look like blackheads (comedones) and whiteheads. Others may have the appearance of red bumps, with pus, nodules, or cysts that appear under the skin. As a general rule, they usually appear accompanied by acne on the face, chest and arms.
What is the cause of its appearance?
If its appearance is in the adolescent stage its main cause may be by the increase in androgens. Likewise the cause is equal to a genetic-hormonal cause that is specific to each patient. Generally genetics also has to do with suffering from acne, if any of the relatives have suffered from it it can be a cause of heredity.
Another cause that can be associated is due to consumption of B vitamins, or by the consumption of some oral medications such as lithium, corticosteroids or anticonvulsants. The abuse of supplements to gain muscle mass (Stanozolol and Testosterone) or the taking of hormones are also the cause of its appearance.
How to combat its appearance?
There are various treatments that can be effective, with perseverance and patience its effects can be minimized. You have to do tests with the different remedies until you find the most feasible solution, but the most effective treatment is usually a priori the use of oral antibiotics or topical antibiotics. For extreme cases of acne, the use of peeling, CO2 laser or microdermabrasion.
Anti-acne cream works too and they are those that contain ingredients such as benzolium peroxide, salicylic acid, retinol or a sulfur solution. In any of the compositions they should never contain oil. It is also recommended the use of zinc, as it is very effective against acne and can be taken in capsules or applied to the affected area.
Cleaning is essential to combat bacne
Cleanliness in the area too is essential, but not excessively. Whenever you have sweated it is essential to remove the affected area to remove all the bacteria that cause acne, with water that is not too hot and with mild soap. If you have showered and used conditioner or any hair product, you have to make sure that there are no traces on your back.
Homemade masks can be made to apply on the back. You need 2 handfuls of sugar, 1 handful of oat bran, and water. You have to make a medium compact cream with these ingredients. First the area is washed with neutral soap and then an exfoliation is carried out, gently rubbing the affected part. We will let it rest for five minutes and we will remove it with water.
Other additional tips is the use of clothes if possible always clean (washed with mild detergents) where germs and bacteria have not accumulated, with cotton materials so that the skin can perspire and if it may be that the skin is more in contact with the air. It is true that acne usually improves in summer, but direct contact with the sun is totally inadvisable, since it increases its production of sebum and increases more spots and scars.
