Suggest Treatment For Itching Acne On Back
I m a fourteen almost fifteen year old girl and I have back acne, it was fairly bad until I started to use this stuff (i dont knwo the name of it) and it has been clearing up rather well, I dont use it every day (even though I should). Its not really that noticeable anymore, its mostly mostly around my shoulders and slightly on mu uper arm and chest. It gwts itchy ever now and then. My acne doesnt botherd me ad much anymore since it isnt that noticeable exept for a pimle or two. Can you help in anyway?

Hi,
The best way to treat back acne is to take shower as soon as you can after a workout. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub with ingredients such as salicylic acid to remove extra dirt and oils from your skin.Long hair may be adding oil and dirt to the skin on your back, causing acne outbreaks. Wash your hair regularly. Also, don’t allow conditioner or shampoo to run down your back. Ingredients in these products can contribute to clogged pores.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pramod Kokare, General & Family Physician
