Backne is street slang for back acne. And while the
contractions definite origin is unknown, it can be said that it
comes from the fact that nearly everyone in the world has, at
one point in his or her life, experienced having back acne.
Indeed, back acne is universal enough to merit its own term.
Back acne knows no specific target. It afflicts people from ages
ten to forty; sometimes even years after that. A lot of theories
have been introduced as to why back acne happens. Sadly,

acne. But, before we get into that, lets see first what
constitutes back acne.
Back acne happens when so-called sebaceous glands (or the glands
that create oily substance) produce an excess of oil. Commonly,
males suffer from back acne, particularly during puberty, where
shooting androgen levels interfere with the sebaceous glands and
cause them to overproduce, clogging skin pores. Such clogging
attracts bacteria; hence, back acne is born. And, mind you, back
acne does not only appear on a persons back; it can also
surface on the buttocks.
Some believe that back acne is aggravated by wearing tight
clothes and constant heat exposure, which disallows the skin to
breathe. However, since we are fully clothed most of the time
and it is inevitable that we sit, it is impossible for us to
prevent back acne consciously. Therefore, it would be better if
we just focus on ways to control them.
The skin on our back is thicker than anywhere else in the body;
so back acne is more stubborn than facial acne and is more
resistant to treatment. Simple back acne problems can be treated
using medication sold over the counter. Try a cleanser that
contains salicylic or glycolic acid. A light coat of benzoyl
peroxide with between 2.5% and 5% concentration may also help
address back acne problems. In cases where pus has formed, see a
dermatologist immediately. Your doctor will prescribe the right
treatment for your back acne conditions.
Contrary to facial acne, back acne is not generally acquired via
heredity. No definite cause for back acne has been proven to
date, but, just to be on the safe side, try to avoid using
irritating detergents and fabric softeners with your clothes,
maintain a healthy diet and keep yourself clean and feeling
fresh always. Remember: back acne does not choose its target.
Young or old, male or female, Black, White or Asian, no one is
spared from the havoc back acne is bound to spread. Its best to
be cautious than sorry.
