There is a pimple on my back

If we have acne on our face, we can go to the hospital for treatment and buy medicine; or we can refer to the many acne removal tips on the Internet to remove the acne on our face. However, if the pimples appear on the back, not only we cannot see the actual condition of the pimples, but we also cannot apply medicine to the pimples on the back by ourselves. So what should we do if we have a pimple on our back?

If papules appear on the back and the itching is severe, it may be eczema. It is recommended to use triamcinolone acetonide cream for external use. If the rash does not cause any obvious discomfort, it may be folliculitis, and it is recommended to use fusidic acid cream for external application to reduce inflammation.

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles. It is a common facial disease in adolescence. With the changes in people's lifestyles, the intensification of environmental pollution, the abuse of cosmetics, etc., the incidence of acne has been increasing year by year. From teenagers in their teens to middle-aged people in their fifties, many people are worried about acne on their faces.

The pimples on the back are mostly caused by excessive sebum secretion, thick cuticle and incomplete cleaning.

In addition to eating less irritating foods (sour, cold, spicy, and greasy) and ensuring adequate sleep, you must pay attention to washing your skin promptly after exercise, and try to wear comfortable and breathable cotton clothes, change them frequently, and hang them in the sun to dry thoroughly before wearing.

The back is one of the parts of the human body with the most active sebum secretion, and the stratum corneum in this area is particularly thick. The metabolism is slower than that of the face, and a cycle is completed in about one and a half months. Therefore, it is easy for the pores to be clogged. Sebum secretion is more abundant in spring and summer, and the pores are often blocked because the cuticle cannot be exfoliated normally.

The skin on the back is wrapped and rubbed by clothes all day long. When you sweat a lot, bacteria are more likely to breed in the hot and humid environment, and acne will appear.

Spring, especially summer, is a season when humidity and heat are easily retained in the body and form dampness and toxins. This is a major cause of acne on the back. Excessive stress among modern people causes endocrine disorders, which is also a major cause of acne on the back.

Take a bath regularly. It is the most primitive and also the most unsophisticated method to remove toxins. When taking a shower, rub your back especially. Some places are hard to reach with your hands, so you can use a bath ball with a handle to scrub them (don’t rub the acne areas too hard as they can easily get infected).

Look for a natural seaweed mask. Apply it on your back to detoxify. (Don't do it for a long time or too often, because which ones have more chemical ingredients?

Drink water. Hydration is also an essential element of detoxification.
