Pimples on the back are a common problem for people of all ages. The causes most often are exactly the same as the causes of the appearance of pimples on the face. Unfortunately, the pimples on the back are much harder to remove. So are there home remedies that can help you quickly get rid of pimples on your back?
Pimples on the back are not only embarrassing, but also often painful. The changes can be very inflamed and often there are many of them. They most often appear in the upper back and arms, where there are many sebaceous glands and the skin itself is thicker than other areas.
Pimples on the back – causes
The causes of pimples on the back are the same as acne on any other part of the body. They most often appear in people who struggle with acne vulgaris. In this case, the causes of pimples on the back are hormones and high activity of the sebaceous glands. The mechanism is always the same. Large amounts of sebum clog the skin’s sebaceous glands and bacteria begin to multiply.
Other causes of pimples on the back can be poorly chosen cosmetics and inadequate care. In such a situation, the pimples are located, for example, on the back. Another cause may be hair care products, which can irritate the skin on the back and cause purulent eruptions.
Pimples on the back can also be a consequence of poor hygiene.
Pimples on the back – treatment
If the pimples on the back are very bothersome, it is worth visiting a dermatologist. He will help us choose the appropriate care and treatment, if he deems it necessary. In severe acne, the dermatologist often makes the decision to administer oral medications. In the case of acne vulgaris, it is tetracycline, doxycycline (eg Unidox Solutab) or erythromycin. Antibiotics for pimples can also be in the form of a topical ointment.
Retinoids, in turn, are both topical medications, thanks to which blackheads disappear faster, and oral medications. Another way to deal with the bothersome pimples on the back is hormonal contraception, which, however, is recommended for adult women.
Pimples on the back – home remedies
Pimples on the back most often require proper care. The skin should be well cleansed so that it can breathe freely. You should also remember to properly moisturize the skin on the back, as dry skin becomes contaminated more easily. The air should reach it freely, so avoid tight-fitting clothes and artificial fabrics.
If you suffer from acne on your back, you should wash your back thoroughly in the morning and in the evening. Suitable brushes can be used to cleanse the skin to unblock clogged pores. Pimples on the back will help eliminate a suitable washing gel, preferably antibacterial or anti-acne. Properly matched preparations will help exfoliate the skin and, additionally, will not clog the pores. As a result, they will alleviate the symptoms associated with pimples. Getting rid of pimples on the back is not easy and requires patience.
