Best Answer

Most teens are able to use over-the-counter acne products containing benzoyl peroxide. For adults, this treatment may cause the skin pigmentary changes and cause the individual to look older. Adults may opt for cosmetic treatment such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels.

How do I get rid of acne on my back?

Back acne is almost the same as face acne, but is usually triggered by long hair. If you have hair that frequently touches your back, try to keep it away from sensitive spots by keeping it up in a bun or ponytail when possible. You can also use acne spot treatments and cleansers containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid just like would use them on your face.

What acne treatments or products are there?

Take a walk down the skin care aisle of any local pharmacy and you'll see that there is an overwhelming display of topical blemish treatments to choose from. Keep in mind that the majority of acne treatments available in retail locations are designed to be used by adolescents who are going through hormonal changes that are causing their sebaceous glands to be overactive. A vast amount of acne sufferers actually have dry skin and so it is not always a good idea to simply walk down the skin care aisle and expect to find your miracle treatment sitting there staring you in the face. With such a wide range of products to choose from, it is nearly impossible to decipher one from the next. Look closely, and you'll notice that many of these treatments use the same active ingredients. Benzoyl Peroxide, Sulphur, and Salicylic Acid are among the most commonly found active ingredients. Products from Zenmed, Murad, Proactiv and Clearsil are considered to be good for treating acne.

Does pimples have to do with what you eat?

yes it does, pimples and other acne mostly occur when you eat fatty, or greasy foods.Another viewpoint:No, the foods you eat do not cause acne. Pimples are actually tiny bacterial infections, and the white heads are where pus has formed. Dermatologists often prescribe low dose antibiotics for acne, and there are non prescription treatments for acne, as well. The most effective one is ProActive, and has become a very popular product.Some people (mostly teens) are just more prone to acne than others are, no matter what they eat. There are many siblings who eat the same foods as each other, with one having severe acne and the other having none.For example, as teens, my sister had severe acne, while I never had it. We lived in the same home, we ate the same foods as each other, used the same brand of soap and skin care products, etc., yet she had a lot of acne and I had none.The same with my children when they were teens. While my son was plagued with severe acne, my daughter never had problems with it, even though they ate the same foods at meal time, and they both ate the same types of typical teen junk food.

Is back acne the same as face acne?

Back Acne tends to be "heat spots". when you're wearing a t-shirt or whatever the heat gets trapped in your pores on your back which causes lumps (acne). whereas acne on your face is oils and infections that can get trapped in your pores creating spots.
