Method 3 of 3: Making Changes to Your Lifestyle
1.Wear a clean bra. If you wear a bra it is extremely important it should be clean. If possible, wear a strapless bra as this reduces redness on your shoulder blades amazingly fast.
2. Wear loose clothes. Ensure any material touching your back is clean and, if possible, made of cotton. Cotton removes sweat from your skin.
3. Remember to shower after sweating. Additionally, this sweat can also clog pores, causing acne to rear its ugly little head.
4. When you do shower, be sure to rinse conditioner out of your hair. One potential cause of bacne is conditioner that hasn't been properly washed from hair. Turn the water temperature down before you rinse conditioner out of your hair. Warm water will open up pores, while cool water will close them. Wash your back last, after you've shampooed and conditioned. Instead of conditioning your hair in the shower, condition it after you get out with a leave-in conditioner.
5. Change your laundry detergent. If you have sensitive skin, the laundry detergent you use may irritate your skin.
6. Wash your sheets regularly. Dead skin cells and dust collect quickly on sheets. Remove the sheets and wash them twice weekly.
Tips
- Hydrating properly will ensure that your body will not need to release as much oil and bacteria in the form of bacne.
- Furthermore, scratching your back could cause acne to spread so this should be avoided too.
- There are generic versions of body wash for acne available. Just look for this active ingredient: 2% salicylic acid.
- Avoid junk food not just for your back but everywhere it will not help eating a lot of junk for any bacne but your face and other body parts as well!
- If you are sensitive to salicylic acid or find commercial products ineffective for your back acne (bacne), try a medicated skin powder. This will usually work well and won't over-dry your skin.
- Other solutions to try on bacne:
- Dandruff shampoo with zinc
- Tea tree oil is an all natural topical treatment that can be applied instead of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
- Medicating your skin with lemons (slice and rub onto skin) or tomatoes will greatly help, because the acid in them will help to kill harmful bacteria. This is especially good if you have sensitive skin and the chemical treatments will do more harm than good.
Warnings
- Treat any popped pimples with 3% hydrogen peroxide or 10% benzoyl peroxide to reduce the chance of infection.
- If you are taking Accutane, do not use Neutrogena or benzoyl peroxide.[citation needed] Accutane works by killing oil glands under the skin, thereby removing the critical producer of oil.
I definitely see a lot more patients for body acne during the summer months."
Is it the same as the acne on my face? "The breakouts on your chest and back tend to be a little different than the acne on your face.
If you use a salicylic acid body wash every day, it helps reduce inflammation and unclog pores."
If I have an acne-fighting face wash, can I just use that?
Benzoyl peroxide is fine for treating breakouts on the face, but I don't recommend it for the body because it tends to bleach fabrics.
You can also use a spot treatment or gel on your chest and back. I really like Clinique Acne Solutions Spot Healing Gel. I find it very, very effective at spot treating blemishes on the face and on the body.
There are medications and wipes that we can prescribe to help treat more serious cases of body acne.
Do scrubs help with body acne?
If you scrub too vigorously, you end up overdrying the skin, which causes the skin produce more oil, subsequently causing more breakouts. Also, the skin on your chest is extremely thin and can scar easily if you accidentally remove the skin—which I've seen patients do.
