I read somewhere that it can be caused by not washing your back well enough, and not changing your bra enough. Apparently, it can worsen if youcarry heavy backpacks, have a lot of stress, or eat fatty or oily food but I don’t think there’s any evidence for this.
Back acne usually happens around puberty when the sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, start functioning. When too much sebum is produced, pores and hair follicles can become clogged, attracting bacteria which can lead to acne. You should wash your back with a cleanser that’s meant fo the face, and stay away from regular soap. You could use a sugar scrub (a salt scrub is too harsh) on a weekly basis to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells as well as keeping it clean. Hope this helped!
I feel abit the same if I’m honest, I found that topical treatments worked great on my back, even though I couldn’t use them on my face.
Acne Vitamin Treatment
There are various natural home remedies for the treatment of teenage acne as well as adult acne. Vitamin A and Niacin seem to be effective in the treatment of acne. There is no “best medication” when it comes to treating this condition because each individual reacts differently to acne treatment. However, homeopathic medication and blue light therapy can be tried in order to get rid of face scars and scars from the back and chest. Vitamin therapy should comprise the intake of 100 mg niacin, three times daily, and 50,000 international units of vitamin A, three times daily. Vitamin E, 400 mg, should be taken once daily. Continue this therapy for a month. You may also increase your intake of foods that are rich in these vitamins. Foods like spinach and kale are good sources of Niacin and should be included in your daily meal if possible. Other sources of niacin include asparagus broccoli, celery, and mushrooms. One of the simplest ways to include these vegetables in your diet is to prepare a salad using these ingredients. You can also add strips of lean white meat to your salad as white meat too is a source of niacin. Liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, and cantaloupe are all good sources of Vitamin A and should also be included in your diet. A simple way to include liver in your diet is to blend a small amount of liver along with a dash of lemon, pepper, and olive oil and use this mixture as a sandwich spread.
Zinc Treatment for Acne
Zinc seems to be the latest arrival in terms of the treatment for acne. Its results seem promising; however, individual reactions and responses to zinc acne treatment may differ. Zinc is available in tablet and in capsule form. In tablet form, it is available as Zinfet – 200 mg. The patient can take a quarter tablet so as to get 50 mg of zinc. In capsule form, zinc is available as Ulseal 220 mg. One-fourth of the powder inside the capsule can be taken as a single dose. The patient can take a dose of 50 mg daily upto one month or till there is noticeable improvement and then reduce the dose to 25 mg. It is important to consult your doctor before you decide to try any home remedies for pimples, or include any type of supplements in your diet. You can include foods that are rich in zinc in your daily diet to make sure that you meet your daily zinc requirement. Wheat germ, pine nuts, cashew nuts, and pecan nuts are all good sources of this mineral. A simple way to include these ingredients in your daily diet plan is to crush them together in a blender and sprinkle the resultant powder over your salads and other dishes. The crushed nuts will also help to add flavor to your food.
Orange Peel Remedy for Acne
Homemade Acne Treatment with orange peel has been found very effective. Pound the orange peel with water on a piece stone and apply on acne affected areas. Orange peels are mildly acidic in nature and help to cleanse the skin of excess sebum. You can make a face scrub out of gram flour and orange peels. This is often used as one of the most effective home remedies for pimples and acne. Dry a few pieces of orange peel and grind them lightly so that you get a coarse powder. Mix this powder with an equal amount of gram flour and then add enough water to this powder to make it a thin paste. You can use fresh carrot juice and tomato juice to the powder instead of water as carrot juice is rich in Vitamin A while tomato juice is mildly acidic in nature. Massage your face with this paste and then leave it on for five minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm or cold water.
Lemon Cure for Acne
A simple remedy at home for acne: Apply lemon juice regularly to reduce pimples and acne. This has proven beneficial results. Lemon juice is acidic in nature and also contains Vitamin C which is beneficial to overall skin health. If you have very sensitive skin, you can dilute the lemon juice with an equal amount of fresh mint leaf juice as this will help to reduce inflammation. This is also one of the popular home remedies for blackheads.
