subject: Get Rid Of Pimples On The Back - Top 10 Sure Fire Tips That You Must Try [print this page] Pimples on the back, or "bacne," are typically caused by trapped sweat, although sometimes it is not the case. For women, fluctuating hormones during the monthly cycle also contribute to making them worse. They also usually occur during puberty, because that's the time when the glands that produce sebum start functioning. When there is excess sebum, the hair follicles and the pores get clogged and draw bacteria which then lead to bacne.
Do not fret, for here there are ten tips that can possibly get rid of the pimples on the back. It is crucial to follow the regimen to ensure that the problem will cease to exist. Also, since the skin on one's back is most likely tougher than the face, it can withstand stronger treatments. Be very careful though, and use the substances with a doctor's approval.
One tip is to practice have a change of fresh clothes as often as three to four times a day. Without doing so will cause ones clothes to collect dust, oil, and sweat that attract bacteria. It is even better if one showers before a change of clothes if situation permits. Don't bathe for more than three times a day though, unless having gone through strenuous exercise, for it will make the oil glands go on overdrive and cause the pores to get clogged.
Another tip is, when showering, use a salicylic-acid-based cleanser on the back. After which, the back needs to be wiped with a cotton dipped in a solution that has benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and then with an alpha hydroxy acid-based body moisturizer.
Consistently change the bed sheets, about twice a week, to keep the bacteria from lingering. Opt for more natural fibers and stay away from satin.
If the pimples on the back are light - a mixture of blackheads, whiteheads, and red bumps - then use the cleanser with salicylic acid and bathe with lukewarm water.
If one has a lot of red pimples that have a white center, then the best product would be one with glycolic acid, and to use an exfoliating scrub to loosen dirt, oil and flaky skin from the back.
If the case is severe, with groups of huge red bumps that are painful and swollen, then a medicated serum with beta hydroxyl acid is needed for it targets the specific type of bacteria that causes them.
When the bacne is really bad, spot treatment is the way to go for the most distinct pimples on the back. Use one that contains either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide spot treatment twice a day.
If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, be patient and consistent because the products take time. However, if there are no positive results after about a month of use, then it is best to try a different active ingredient, for example to use benzoyl peroxide as an alternative to salicylic acid. Use the new product for a few weeks to see if it does work.
If the pimples on the back keep popping up in the same spot, then it means that the bacteria could still be hang around beneath the surface. The solution is to apply a prescription topical cream, say Retin-A, in order to penetrate down to the pore and destroy the bacteria permanently.
Lastly, pimples on back may be treated with a homemade concoction. Mix sodium hydroxide soap with tea tree oil. This will aid in destroying the bacteria, drying up the pimples, and even soften the skin.
