There are several ways on how to cure back acne. Bacne – a short term for back acne is just like any ordinary forms of acne. It can appear as pimples, blackheads, pustules or in severe cases it would look like an acne cyst. This commonly appears during puberty when the sebaceous gland starts to function aggressively. Male, female, teenagers or adult, back acne does not have a particular range of age nor gender and practically can affect anybody. Below are some ways to treat bacne.

1. Wear cool clothes and put some powder at your back to prevent perspiration. This is a vital way on how to cure back acne. Change clothes if you have perspired too much on it to prevent further back acne build up.

2. After doing a vigorous activity, you would probably give off too much sweat. Take a shower immediately or if not possible, wipe your perspiration using towels with soft fabric such as cotton.

3. Pat dry you skin after taking a shower. Do not rub the towel. It might irritate your skin and cause inflammation on your back acne.

4. If your back acne is not yet severe, you may still use anti-bacterial cleansers that are designed for facial acne. Nowadays, there are also anti-acne soaps that can be used not just for the face but for body as well. Avoid using regular soap. These soaps may not meet the demands that your sensitive skin needs.

5. Avoid carrying back packs until your back acne clears up. This would prevent your back from heating up which results to more perspiration and breeding ground for bacteria that causes back acne.

6. One of the best ways on how to cure back acne properly is to use gels or creams containing at least 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. They can be bought at drugstores even without any prescriptions from a dermatologist (skin doctor).

7. Studies show that benzoyl peroxide works better when used with products having alpha-hydroxy. This will heal and dry up back acne two times faster.

8. Some people also have natural techniques on how to cure back acne. One home remedy for treating back acne is to use homemade Sodium Hydrixide (Lye) soap while adding some tea tree oil in it. This does not dry and heal acne faster but would definitely give you a softer skin.

9. Exfoliate once a week. If you don’t want to spend money on buying expensive body scrubs, you may use sugar instead to take off all those dead skin cells. Do it on the affected area such as back and buttocks.

10. You may seek professional help in case of very severe back acne. Theirs is nothing to be ashamed about. Dermatologists are willing to help people suffering this kind of skin problem. They would probably recommend medicines that needs prescription, antibiotics that should be taken orally, topical treatments, retinol or even oral contraceptives (for female only).



So there you go. These are only ten of the most effective ways on how to cure back acne.

How to cure acne - acne remedies and treatments

Perhaps, due to the high percentage of people who suffer from acne in one form or another, it should not be surprising that there are many varied and contradictory acne remedies available, both on the retail market, and as old wives tales.
The most commonly accepted acne treatments can be categorised and summarised as follows:

1)     Hygiene

a)     Simple soap and water

It is a common misconception that acne is caused by bad hygiene. Parents are for ever berating their children for not washing correctly. The simple truth is that cleansing with soap and water will not cure acne, on the contrary, over scrubbing of the affected skin can cause the condition to worsen. This does not mean you do not need to wash every day, staying clean is essential for keeping unaffected skin soft and healthy.

b)     Over the counter scrubs and cleansers
    
Acne scrubs usually contain some form of abrasive material. The principle being that, the material being rubbed against the skin will help to slough off dead skin cells and therefore prevent the follicle from becoming blocked. You should avoid over abrasive scrubs. As with soap and water, too much scrubbing can cause adverse effects.
     
Cleansers are used to remove dirt and oil from the skin. Most commercial products contain salicylic acid possibly combined with benzoyl peroxide. These products may have a tendency to dry out the skin more than is considered healthy, especially in people with skin that is sensitive to the specific compounds.

2)     Creams and ointments

Acne ointments and creams are usually sulphur based.  Sulphur has a softening effect on the skin and aids in removing hard dead cells, thereby helping to prevent the formation of acne. Sulphur based ointments tend to be moderately effective in mild occasional outbreaks of acne, but not for the acute acne sufferer.  Common side effects of these products are: skin discoloration and Irritation and burning of the skin. In some cases, sulphur has been found to increase cell adhesion, which leads to a fresh outbreak of pimples.

3)     Hydrogen Peroxide

In recent years, Hydrogen Peroxide has been acclaimed on the internet as a ‘miracle cure’ for acne, with the fact it is cheap to buy from a pharmacy being very attractive for many.
Hydrogen Peroxide is a very effective anti-bacterial, killing most bacteria on contact. In truth, while Hydrogen Peroxide can be very effective at clearing up existing acne spots, it does not prevent acne from forming in the first place.

4)     Vitamin Supplements

Although it is undeniable that vitamin supplements can have a positive effect on acne. It is extremely unlikely that they will cure your skin condition on their own. Supplements are often used as part of a holistic acne remedy, and used properly, can increase the effectiveness of the cure. Commonly recommended supplements are:
a)     Vitamin A
  • Vitamin A is considered necessary for the skin to heal itself.
b)     Zinc
  • Zinc aids in the restoration of tissue and can help avert scarring.
  • It is also known to assist the body in resisting infection and inflammation.
c)     Omega 3 fatty acids.
  • Omega 3 fats are known to have anti-bacterial effects as well as anti-inflammatory. They help keep cell walls healthy, and are instrumental in the delivery of nutrients to the cell.

5)      Antibiotics

In more acute cases of acne, dermatologists and physicians will usually prescribe a course of antibiotics, most frequently, tetracycline, erythromycin and minocycline. Antibiotics, as the name implies, are designed to kill the bacterial infection, and can be effective at this. As with all other cures listed above, antibiotics are effective in curing existing outbreaks of acne, but are unable to prevent the acne from forming in the first place. For this reason it is common to see the acne sufferer have a recurrence soon after the use of the antibiotics is discontinued.
