Back Acne Causes
I remember the first time when I found out the acne on my back, I didn't realize it until it is touched with pains and I had it checked on in the mirror and by someone close.

It can not only appear on the back, but also on the buttucks. If you have this type of acne, you might have been wondering how it has happened, what causes back acne and how to deal with it. Let's answer the first question by the information on this page because the explicit back acne cause can guide us in dealing with it in the proper way.
Back acne causes were the first things that I searched for information about when I got the back acne for the first time. However, it was very disappointing to know that what causes acne on back is not much different from the causes of the acne on the face or other parts of the body because it is based on the same psychological theory, i.e. the pores are clogged by the accumulated dead skin cells in them, excessive secretion of sebum (skin oil) and the infection from bacteria.

It is understandable. However, I wondered the back is normally covered with clothing all the time, which must have something to do with the acne breakouts. But it also failed me when I found out that the clothing and gears that we are equiped with (such as backpacks) were said to not cause acne on the back directly. Researches even told me that there is no link between heavy sweat and acne breakouts. The only string attached is that they can only make the acne worse or flare up a little bit by creating some friction.
I didn't agree on what I had found and don't, either, because pimples outbreak after some days of sitting all the time on the chair, which can not be avoided due to the office work nowadays. This might not always happen for other people because acne causes vary much from person to person.
Although there is very little difference between what causes acne on the back and the causes of the facial acne as we mentioned earlier, there is indeed difference when it comes to healing due to the special position where acne is located.
When acne occurs on our face, we tend to touch, scrub and even squeeze even without realizing it. However, those on our back are far away from our hands which can not reach it that easily. This means that the back acne can heal faster without disturbance of our hands.
In addition, the back acne is not exposed to the air most of the time, compared to the face. This will make it less affected by the dirt as long as we keep our clothing clean. This helps with the healing, too.
Generally speaking, what cause back acne is similar to what causes facial acne in terms of heredity, oils, bacteria and hormonal imbalance. But they varies from case to case. For me, I have formed a habit of standing up and walking around after approximately a hour of sitting. So you are supposed to find out what causes acne on your back and work on them starting from there. This way, you are right on the road to a clear skin of your back.
