Acne is not something that you will want to experience within your lifetime as it is one of the most dreaded skin problems of all time, which teenagers know all too well.
Acne can present on just about anyone of any age as well as anywhere on the body at all.
One of the most awkward and difficult to treat places acne appears on the back.
When it appears on the back it usually means you have acne vulgaris, the most common type of acne which most teenagers have.
This article will give you some tips to get rid of back acne and start living with healthy and clear skin once and for all.
The first and most important thing you have to do is wash your body, especially your back, on a regular basis.
Your one shower a day may not be enough and you will have to develop a regimen of using a scrub or cream of some sort on your back at least once or twice a day, depending on the instructions on the label and what your dermatologist says.
It's important that you get a doctor's opinion before you start any kind of treatment on your skin, because you don't want to end up making it worse.
When you are in the shower scrub your skin gently, don't rub it off or make it red and irritated, this can actually make your breakouts worse.
Your skin is a gentle part of your body and should be treated as such.
Using a sponge or shower puff when you apply it to the skin and make sure to be thorough when putting it on and taking it off.
Picking up and using some lotions and moisturizers may not be a bad idea either because our skin tends to get dried out and flaky which can contribute to the development of acne.
