We often have uninvited guests that tend to show up at the most inopportune times. We don’t really want to see them and they end up staying too long. No, not the neighbors or the in-laws…the uninvited guests are those dreaded ones that show up on our face, back, neck, shoulders, or anywhere else they feel it. Blemishes! Pimples!
Pimples usually invite themselves on your face, but how about those back pimples, or body acne? Where do they come from? These pimples can be even more irritating because they are covered by clothing which can make a bad situation worse.
Back pimples: What is the cause:
Anyone of any age can be affected by back pimples. Clogged pores and possible hormone imbalance can be a factor. Back pimples, especially can be affected by clogged pores due to the fact they are covered most of the time, and as we sweat and create excess oil, the pores become clogged allowing bacteria to grow.
So what can we do?
For mild to moderate acne you can follow these simple steps and be on your way to get it under control. You may want to consult your dermatologist if you feel your situation is too severe.
Breaking a sweat doesn’t have to be a major concern if you take some precautions, so don’t give up on exercising simply because of breaking out into a sweat. Dry off immediately without rubbing or scrubbing the skin to remove the sweat. Shower as soon as you can and use an oil free, mild soap on your back, get out of your workout clothes as quickly as possible.
Wearing clothes made from wool and Lycra, or that are tight fitting and confining can hold in the sweat. Instead wear clothing of100% cotton, it will be less irritating. To stop bacteria from growing, change and wash bed linens often with a mild detergent, that will be less irritating to your skin. The faster you get back pimples and body acne under control the less chance it will become more severe and cause scarring.
