ahhh ‘bacne’— it sucks. Especially if you are a dancer or model or swimmer… anything needing to show your back. Here is some info. But firstly I suggest cleaning pillow cases. Keeping your hair off your back and making sure to wash it clean after exercise or any rigorous movement causing sweat.
Question: Why Do I Get ‘Back Acne’?
Answer: ‘Bacne’ is another term for back acne or body acne. It tends to form on the back, upper arms and the buttocks and can take several forms: pimples, blackheads, pustules and cysts, which are painful and form deep under the skin’s surface.
What Causes Bacne?
There is no scientific explanation for what causes back acne.
According to this article on the Acne Resource Center, back acne tends to occur around puberty when the sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, start functioning. When too much sebum is produced, pores and hair follicles can become clogged, attracting bacteria. This can lead to acne.
Stress, oily or fatty foods, excessive sweating and even genes do not seem to play a role in the causes of back acne, according to the Acne Resource Center. There is also no proof back acne is developed from tight clothing, excessive sweating and heavy backpacks (although it is possible ‘bacne’ is exacerbated by this). However here is some more info:
How to Treat Back Acne?
For milder versions of back or body acne a topical 10 percent benzoyl peroxide cream or gel may suffice. Severe acne, including cysts, should be treated by a dermatologist.
To treat mild back acne:
Step 1 Wash the back with an anti-bacterial cleanser formulated for the face, such as Cetaphil. Stay away from regular soap. Let skin dry.
Step 2 Follow with a 10 percent benzoyl peroxide gel or cream. These are available over-the-counter or via prescription. Check out these options here. Let dry.
Step 3 (optional) Some experts suggest using the benzoyl peroxide in tandem with an alpha hydroxy treatment such as Alpha Hydrox Enhanced Lotion is optimal. Check out other options.
For severe back acne, consult a dermatologist for prescription treatment. Cysts can be treated in the office.
How to Prevent Back Acne
Exfoliation is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells that tend to build up on the back, buttocks and back of the arms. Use a sugar scrub (milder than salt scrubs) in the shower on a weekly basis.
well….. i would use proactive.
i had the same problem and it cleared up after a just a few weeks. of course it just depends on what kind of skin you have. if that doesn’t work for you, then try some other product… there’s something out there that you will like to use.
but it doesn’t matter because you are beautiful no matter how much acne you have.
so go and have fun at the dance!!! you shouldn’t worry about what other people think, everyone has flaws but thats what makes us unique

Contact your local day spa or esthetician today! There are several mud masks and various treatments that can help you to clear up the acne before your dance. Ask specifically for back treatments. BTW, a friend who is an esthetician sometimes applies Milk of Magnesia to her sons back to clear up his acne.
Exfoliate your back twice a week
keep clean and dont wear tight fitting clothes on ur back
