The first thing you can do (for mild “bacne”) is to keep your back clean and somehow bacteria free. You can use Cetaphil for this instead of bath soap. Let it dry.
A 10 percent benzoyl peroxide can be applied right after to the problem areas. After doing so let it sit and dry. Some dermatologists would advise to use benzoyl peroxide together with Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion to get maximized results. This is optional though. Keeping your back clean and bacteria free is your priority. It will not only control the outbreak but also prevent severe recurrence.
If you have severe back acne, visit your dermatologist for treatments that might need a prescription.
Since treatment and prevention are closely associated, let us know more about back acne prevention. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells. In the case of back acne, exfoliation removes potential blockage in the pores thereby preventing acne to actually occur.
Acne cases and associated have multiple underlying causes that menu guidance and dietary do’s and don’ts that providing a specific menu and dietary suggestions to help in back acne treatment (and prevention) might cause more problems than help. Let us stick to general guidelines. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day. Make sure to include fruits and vegetables in your every meal. And of course, don’t forget you fiber sources like whole wheat, beans and root vegetables.
