I have bad back acne. Help!?

Mostly my back is bad because of the dark spots from picking at them, not really cause of the acne.


Do you know any homemade thing to get rid of acne or the dark spots?


Thanks!


|||If you want to get rid of back acne, wash regularly. Use an anti-bacterial soap, and try for washing twice a day. Be careful not to over-wash, though, because this can irritate your skin and dry it out. It is also important to shower as soon as possible after any activity that has caused excessive perspiration. When perspiration gets trapped against your skin, it can mix with oils and further clog your pores, which will exacerbate your back acne. This is not good.Exfoliate on a daily to weekly basis to help get rid of dead skin cells that can worsen back acne. Because the skin on your back is thicker than the skin on your face, this is generally safe to do. Experiment with different types of exfoliators - washcloths, loofahs, brushes - and watch your skin for any worsening of the acne or extreme irritation. If you use a scrub, try a sugar-based one rather than one with salt - this will be milder on your skin. Also, reduce the number of times you exfoliate if you notice any bad reactions.Use a medicated cream or gel like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid if you are going to get rid of back acne. It is best to choose one or the other of these, however, because they can interact negatively with each other if mixed. If you use a benzoyl peroxide (bp) product (some experts have found this to work better than salicylic acid), try to find one with 2.5% bp - this dose has been effective for many people. Apply to your back about ten minutes after washing, twice a day. Be sure you allow time for drying, as these medicated gels can have a bleaching effect and damage clothing. Also, because both benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid tend to be drying, it is good to follow up with an alpha-hydroxy moisturizer.To help get rid of back acne, keep your fabrics clean. This includes towels, pillowcases, bedsheets, t-shirts and bras - and anything else you can think of that might touch your back. Dirty stuff attracts bacteria, and bacteria is really good at starting back acne, so...laundry day might have to happen more often. If you%26#039;re anything like me, this may be a challenge. In that case, good luck. To avoid the possibility of irritation, be sure that your detergents and fabric softeners are hypoallergenic. Natural food stores are good places to find products that are environmentally friendly and chemical free.If nothing seems to get rid of your back acne, see a dermatologist. As I mentioned before, back acne is tough to deal with. You should usually give any new skin regimen at least a few weeks before quitting (unless there%26#039;s irritation), but sometimes nothing you try will give you the results you want. Seek help, too, if you find that you are overly anxious, have low self-esteem or experience depression. There are several back acne treatments that a dermatologist will be able to offer that could make a huge difference for you. |||Stop rinsing your conditioner out and letting it run down the back. flip your head over so that you%26#039;re staring out your knees and wash out that way.|||i have this too, it sucks.


i use tea tree oil body wash [or you could just use tea tree oil], it sems to help with reducing the scarring.
