What Causes Back Acne, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally? - #15469
I recently started noticing painful pimples and breakouts on my back, and after doing some research, I found out that it could be back acne. From what I understand, back acne (bacne) occurs due to clogged pores, excess oil production, sweat, and bacteria, but what are the main factors that trigger it? I read that hormonal imbalances, tight clothing, and using oily skincare products can make back acne worse, but how do you determine the exact cause? Also, does diet play a role in causing bacne, especially foods like dairy and sugar? One thing that concerns me is that back acne can leave dark scars and marks, which take a long time to fade. What are the best ways to prevent scarring and heal existing acne marks naturally? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that help clear back acne? I’ve heard that Neem, Turmeric, and Sandalwood have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties—do these actually help reduce bacne and prevent breakouts? If anyone has struggled with back acne, what treatments or skincare products worked best? Did lifestyle changes, diet modifications, or home remedies make the biggest difference?
