Back Acne, Summertime Concern

Acne can affect all areas of the skin that contain sebaceous glands. This includes the face, upper chest, and back. Acne commonly occurs during adolescence. Both teenage acne and adult skin blemishes are often caused by hormonal changes in the body. There are many treatments and regimens available for back acne, especially for the most severe types. Hormonal acne can be treated with Antiandrogens, Corticosteroids, Oral Contraceptives and natural alternatives. There are also several topical treatments available such as Retnoids.

Almost all the treatments mentioned above have side effects associated with them. Topical treatments usually are the least effective. This form of treatment simply takes care of the symptoms but not the condition itself. People are often embarrassed to seek help for back acne. An additional reason why the use of topical treatment is least favorable for back acne is that it would be difficult to apply. The best way to treat back acne is the use of oral medication. This not only treats the symptoms but also the condition.

Often times back acne is caused by excessive sun exposure. You can prevent back acne by seeking treatment prior to exposure by providing your skin with all the proper nutrients. Overexposure to the sun dries out the skin activating the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum. The follicles get clogged with sebum, and the bacteria (P. Acnes) that contribute to back acne.
