Kapanlagi.com - Acne is one of the skin problems that is often experienced by many people. It not only appears on the face, but acne also often appears on other parts of the body such as the back. Unbeknownst to many, there are several factors that can cause back acne. By knowing these causes, we can be more cautious and take preventive measures.

Even though it occurs in an area that is usually covered, back acne can still be very bothersome. Just like on the face, back acne can also cause itching and discomfort. In addition, back acne can also reduce self-confidence, especially when being with a partner.

So, what are the causes of back acne? Here are some explanations gathered from various sources.

 

 

1. Tight and Dirty Clothes

Acne generally occurs due to inflammation in the skin area. This inflammation is caused by bacterial infection and sweat. The risk of infection or inflammation in this back area is greater if we wear tight clothes too often. Especially if the clothes are dirty.

Tight clothing will disrupt air circulation in the skin. In addition, tight clothing also risks inhibiting sweat. As a result, blocked sweat will cause irritation and lead to the appearance of acne. So, start wearing loose clothing and avoid the habit of wearing tight clothes too often.

2. Rarely Changing Bedsheets

Rarely changing bedsheets can also be one of the causes of acne on the back. Although it sounds trivial, that's the fact. As a mattress or sleeping surface, bedsheets can become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs.

Especially if we have the bad habit of not cleaning our body before bed. So, dirt and sweat can stick to the bedsheets. For healthier skin, it is best to change bedsheets regularly, at least every two weeks.

3. Dirty Bed

In addition to regularly changing bed sheets, cleaning the bed can also be a way to prevent acne on the back. This is because, in addition to germs and bacteria that stick to the bed sheets, our beds are often dirty due to airborne dust.

Therefore, before sleeping, try to clean the bed first. Especially, the surface of the mattress or bed sheets, blankets, pillows, and bolsters. Not only will it free you from back acne, but a clean bed will also improve your sleep quality.

4. Oily Hair

For those of you with long hair, you have to be extra careful. You have to take care of your hair carefully and diligently. Dirty hair can be a cause of acne on the back. Especially if the dirty hair is also oily. Dirt and hair oil that stick to the surface of the back skin can trigger acne.

So, you have to wash your hair regularly. Use shampoo and conditioner that are suitable for your hair type. So that your hair can become cleaner and less oily.

However, when washing your hair, you also have to be careful. Because the chemicals in shampoo and conditioner can have a negative effect on the back skin. The pores of the back skin can become clogged, and the risk of acne formation becomes even greater.

5. Consumption of Certain Drugs or Supplements

Consumption of supplements and certain types of drugs often causes side effects. The common side effect that often arises is skin irritation or acne. One type of supplement or drug that often causes acne is a powder that contains protein.

However, just like allergies, side effects can vary depending on each individual's health condition. Therefore, it is important to know the types of drug ingredients that the body cannot consume. By doing so, the risk of side effects, especially the emergence of acne, can be minimized.

6. Hormones and Genetics

In addition to external influences, acne on the back can also be caused by hormonal or genetic factors. This means that the cause of acne on the back is relatively difficult to overcome.

However, do not worry, hormonal and genetic disorders can be treated medically. So, if you have tried various methods to overcome acne on the back but have not succeeded, you can directly consult a doctor.

Those are some of the causes of acne on the back. So, maintain cleanliness and avoid the above-mentioned causes to be free from back acne.
