Frequently Asked Questions & Answers on Back Acne

Are there home treatments for back acne not requiring ointments or chemicals ?

The treatment for back acne depends on how severe your problem is. 

If you get a couple of pimples from time to time then try wearing only cotton clothes. Use a soft brush or Loofah in the shower to exfoliate your back twice a week to remove dead skin. If you sweat after being active, shower as soon as you can. 

For more persistant or painful acne you have to see a dermatologist or your doctor. The skin on the back is thicker so it is hard to treat it with a home remedy.
