Among the many skin care problems Back acne is often experienced by many people. The changing seasons or genetics are to blame for this. They can become painful if not treated in a timely manner.
Here’s what you need to know.
What causes back acne?
Acne or pimples form due to excess tallow or the oil that our bodies naturally produce in the glands that are attached to the hair follicles. While sebum helps keep skin and hair moisturized, excess sebum can lead to acne and breakouts. Dead skin cells also lead to pimples and block the skin pores. When exposed to air, blackheads form.
According to Ayurvedic practitioner Dr. Aiswarya Santhosh back acne is caused by various reasons including genetics, sweat, stress, dandruff, blood loss, tight clothing, too much friction, seborrheic dermatitis, hormonal imbalances during menstruation, and PCOD.
