Back acne is often known as bacne. Acne on your face or in your hairline has no different cause then any other part of your body, including the back. Once again it’s due to the overproduction of sebum (oils) by the sebaceous glands that then clog up pores and cause acne on face, neck, back, hairline or wherever.
One thing that really differentiates back pimples from breakouts of acne on any other part of the body is that it is harder to treat because skin on the back is a lot tougher. This means that bacne treatments are a lot stronger and should by no means be used to treat facial acne.
The bad news with this type of acne is that back pimples, cysts and pustules can be larger and more painful then when acne occurs in other places. Wearing tight clothing or backpacks can make the outbreak worse, by irritating the skin more, so avoid these where possible.
There are a wide range of natural solutions that could be used for mild cases of bacne like homeopathic treatments, tea tree oil, Chinese herbs and other cleansing herbs like milk thistle. Severe cases of bacne will need to be seen by a dermatologist who would prescribe antibiotics, creams or other medical solutions.
We often blame that acne is caused by stress and the food that we eat. Well, it’s true in a way but do take note that improper digestion could also cause acne. This is often caused by too little hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In such conditions, the body is unable to absorb important nutrients which results in a weak immune system that cannot fight the bacteria effectively. Thus acne gets a chance to spread unhindered even if you are eating proper food and taking enough nutrients in your diet.
Our stomach digests by using acid to break down the food into smaller particles so it can be easily absorbed by our intestines. The acid produced is hydrochloric acid (HCL) and it will break down protein, kill pathogens and microns, control absorption of B12, control absorption of nutrients, Vitamin C, created indigestion and prevents constipation. If our HCL level is low, this will contribute to acne growth. But the level of HCL can be increased by taking digestive enzyme that contains this acid.
The next part of our digestion is the pancreas which releases digesting enzymes and bicarbonate to help complete the digestion system. Bicarbonate reduces the strength of HCL from the stomach and enzymes in this part digest carbohydrates, fats and protein. When our pancreas loses its ability to produce the required enzyme, less food will be digested. Undigested food will flow to the colon and it will stay undigested, rot and produce toxic which flows to the blood. These toxic might harmful but it certainly can cause acne.
Therefore, when we have problems with our digestive system, then we will be more susceptible to getting acne. So the bottomline is, it is very important for us to maintain a healthy diet by reducing the intake of food which is hard to digest such as fried and oily food. When our digestion system is healthy, this will lead to a healthy and radiant skin free of acne.
Having oily skin does not necessarily mean that a person will be more prone to acne, however as excess sebum is produced this is one of three main causes of acne.
A person with this type of skin is more likely to have blackheads but it can be kept under control by keeping his or her face ultra clean and exfoliating regularly.
Normal skin has small pores and this gives the impression of smoothness whilst oily skin has larger pores which can make skin appear uneven. Blackheads and dead skin cells can actually make a pore larger so by exfoliating the pores, this debris can be removed, and the pores appear smaller and the face tone much more even.
A common mistake that people make is not to moisturize oily skin fearing that it will cause more breakouts. Cleansing and exfoliation can take away all the oil and if you don’t moisturize the skin will react by producing more oil.
