Body acne is quite common for both teens and adults. Back acne can be more severe than acne found in other areas of the body. The skin on your back is thicker than the skin on your face and laden with sebaceous glands that produce a lot of that pore clogging oil, sebum. External irritants can easily aggravate body acne. If you are experiencing outbreaks on your back or shoulder it could be something as simple as your backpack or purse strap that is aggravating your acne.
Tight fitting clothes can also chafe your skin and some fabrics are more troublesome than others. For instance, Lycra fabrics that fit close to the body can trap perspiration against the skin where it mixes with surface oils. The oils clog the pores and cause blemishes to surface.
Constant exposure to friction from clothing is one of the reasons that body acne is more difficult to treat than facial acne. Another reason derives from the fact that body acne is often in hard to reach areas of the body, making it difficult to apply acne medications.
Try putting an acne astringent with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in a spray bottle and spraying your back every time you shower/take a bath, and if that doesn’t clear it up see a dermatologist.
