Bacne is a term coined for back acne. Like other forms of acne, back acne can be pimples, cysts or blackheads. It can affect anyone of any age and gender. There are several ways to treat back acne as well as prevent it from appearing.

1 - Wash your body with acne body wash instead of regular soap. Acne body wash can help to remove bacteria dirt that is accumulated on the back. A good acne body wash can also help to prevent acne from coming back.

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 - Wear cotton clothes where possible. You can try putting some powder on your back to prevent perspiration and stickiness.

4 - Do not let perspiration stay on your body. This is so especially after exercise. Instead, wipe off the perspiration and change your clothes.

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 - Use a mild scrub or sea salt to exfoliate your back. This helps to get rid of dead skin cells and prevent any dirt build up. However, do not exfoliate if you have cystic acne on the back.

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.
