The 13 Causes of Back Acne (You Should Definitely Be Aware Of)

Lack of Skin Care Routine

While skin care products can cause back acne, the obvious lack of skin care practices can also aggravate the possibility of developing the condition. Daily, the body produces sweat and sebum, which can attract dirt, grime, and bacteria and cause inflammation and infection that manifest as pustules or zits. 

While sebum is beneficial to the body as it moisturizes the skin and hair, an overactive sebaceous gland can cause clogged pores. If the person doesn’t have a minimal skincare routine, these clogged pores can also develop fluids which can cause further infection, swelling, and pain. Doctors recommend scrubbing the skin thoroughly to remove the accumulated dirt and sebum in the pores to prevent acne from developing. Exfoliating dead skin cells will also help keep the skin moisturized and healthy and prevent the development of zits. Using the suitable body wash or soap can also help protect the skin and close pores. Closed pores will help keep the skin looking radiant and protect it from various skin conditions.
