Back acne is a type of skin condition found on the back, rather than the more common places such as the face and neck area. Modern science does not know exactly what causes the outbreaks, but several factors might contribute to it.

It is thought to be possibly caused by tight-fitting clothes that don't allow the skin to breathe and trap perspiration under the skin leading to clogged pores. All of the types of blemishes that are common on the face can also appear on the back. Back acne appears in the form of papules and pustules as well as whiteheads and blackheads. Whiteheads occur when the pore is clogged with bacteria, sebum (or oil) and dead skin cells. Blackheads occur when the pore is partially clogged with the same elements. Papules appear as tiny, red bumps on the skin and pustules are similar bumps that have a yellow or white pus-filled center. These back acne types are more resistant to treatment than the acne that appears on the face.
If you suffer from acne back get rid of the problem in a variety of ways. The most common way is to wash the area after perspiring to reduce the bacteria and sebum. Over-the-counter remedies such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can help to clear the pores, but the solutions need to be in higher concentrations than would be used on the face. Tea tree oil can also help get rid of back acne by applying it to dry skin in a thin layer at least twice a day. Finally, try to wear cotton fibers while exercising to allow pores to breathe and remain dry.
A more serious approach may be needed if back acne does not clear with over-the-counter products. Some of the more powerful drugs that can be prescribed are antibiotics such as erythromycin or tetracycline. These work to kill the excessive bacteria in the body, however, the results only last for as long as the back acne treatment is administered. Plus, you can develop a resistance to antibiotics over time.
If all remedies for back acne treatment do not work, Accutane or isotretinoin, works to reduce the amount of sebum the pores produce. However, because these are more potent, the side effects can be a lot more serious.
Talk to your dermatologist about your options when it comes to treating back acne as well as breakouts and blemishes anywhere on your body. He or she will point you in the right direction.

Tehmina Mazher asked:
Acne is the most common skin problem that teenagers face. Just about nine out of ten of them have to deal with pimples or acne at some time. That's right, nearly 90 percent of kids have to deal with at least an occasional breakout of pimples. This article will help you spot teenage acne in all its glory. It will also help you deal with the emotional scars of acne. And I remind you (or tell you for the first time if you haven't heard it before) that you don't have to accept acne as a rite of passage. You can do something about it.
Dermatologists generally refer to the acne that you get as a teenager as acne vulgaris. Yeah, it sounds horrible, but vulgaris is the Latin word for "common," not "obnoxious" or "repugnant."
In teenagers, acne is one of the signals that your body is going through a tremendous upheaval called puberty. Teenage acne often begins around the ages of 10 to 13. It may start before puberty in both sexes, but teenage girls tend to start getting acne at a younger age than boys; however, boys tend to have the more severe cases.
Studies have shown that puberty is occurring at an earlier age these days, and so is acne. Most teenagers grow out of it when they reach 19 or 20; however, don't be surprised if your acne persists into your early 20s and even into later adulthood.
But just because acne is common and almost every teen suffers through it doesn't mean you can't do anything about it. You don't have to just wait for it to go away. That's what the purpose of my site Acne Natural Remedies -- to help you knock out those pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. With so many excellent acne treatments available today, treating your acne will prevent (or at least greatly lessen) the scarring that often results from untreated acne.
Teenagers can follow these three simple steps and prevent themselves from the worlds serious disease
Drink a lot of water at least 8 to 12 glasses( 2 to 3 liters) as drinking will eliminate toxic wastes from the body which in turn will reduce the chances of developing acne. If you have acne don't try to squeeze or press it as it will worsen the condition, and scar will be there. Don't panic about the acne as it will worsen the condition and more acne will develop.
Not that many teens have real problems (like scars or serious emotional problems) from acne, but if you do, there are a bunch of things that can be done to help you with those issues as well, so don't worry.
