Back acne, acne on the back.
Back acne is prevalent, and often harder to treat than facial acne. The back is made of tough skin with thousands of sebaceous glands that produce a lot of oil.
The bacne regimen is identical to the regular regimen with the addition of an 8-10% glycolic acid (alpha hydroxy) lotion. I have found this product on store shelves here in the States, most notably at Rite-Aid, my favorite product being Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion.
1. Wash the area gently with a mild cleanser and let dry.
2. Apply the alpha hydroxy lotion and wait for it to dry.
3. Apply bp generously. (You can switch step 2 and 3 if you’d like)
4. Apply moisturizer if needed.
One more thing to mention when talking about back acne is back packs. Heavy back packs rub on the upper shoulders/back and can cause irritation. As annoying as it sounds, you might want to try hand held bag for the first few weeks of this back acne regimen. Once you are clear, try using a back pack again. If you break out, you’ll know to go back to a hand held bag.
Unlike the skin on the face the back is a very tough area and can usually handle both medications.
However, you may still want to try one area for a few days with both medications before treating the entire back.
The area to the rear of the arm pit can get irritated from alpha hydroxy, so you may want to avoid that area.
i suggest seeing your local docter…getting rid of acne is a problem under the skin not on top, so just creams alone wont do the trick. also the fact that you have had it for almost 2 years tells me it wont be going away anytime soon im afraid. if your doctor cant do anything for you he will refer you to a dermatologist..which is what mine did (i had it on face,chest and back and it was quite severe)
he put me on this stuff called roaccutaine (or orataine) which is GREAT stuff…my whole body is now completely clear of any sores and no scarring!
I had the same thing, my doctor gave me a mild antibiotic for 2 weeks and had me buy handsoap with ‘triclosan’ in it. It was really effective and that soap kept it from coming back.
AMBI u can get it at CVS:]
it really works
Try emu oil, I have recently started using it and it has benefits for so many things including acne. Cleared my face from minor acne within a week. It really is well worth a try. I buy mine off eBay and it’s cheaper than all the new out products on the market. Good luck
Medimix had been my choice always, and will remain forever. Its sheer quality of good & refreshing fragrance, rich lather and above all not so high price are the ones that can attract any category of consumer. What is even more appealing is that the soap has such good medicinal value that it is very effective in treating skin problems like acne, dark heads etc. Medimix is suitable for all types of skin and for all seasons.

Hello,
Plain old soap and water should do it.
Wash your back more often, or have some help you wash your back more often.
Good luck
Wrights Coal Tar Soap is amazing for clear skin, i have one for my face and the one for the rest of my body.
It can be found in most supermarkets and chemists. I’ve used it for years and my skins really clear
