I am 16 years old and i have suffered from acne my entire teen life. I have an abundant amount of scarring on my back because of acne. I havent had any surgery or any broken bones. I could pass everything else but the scar part…will i be ok???
I have really bad, red acne on my back, as well as acne scars.
I’ve used Proactiv Solution, and sometimes it makes it worse. when it DOES make it better, the acne is still very noticeable.
I feel self-concious when I wear swimsuits and spagetti strap tops.
I can’t really afford to go the dermatologist…what can I do??
Thanks!
Back acne is usually caused by hygienic problems more than anything else. Tight-fitting clothes and trap sweat can cause pores in the back to clog up and become inflamed. However, they may also have hormonal causes. Back acne is among the most difficult to treat because the skin at the back is thicker than the skin on the face. Especially with cystic acne, the deeper it goes under the skin, the higher risk for permanent scarring.

Back acne is same condition as facial acne. The sebaceous glands on skin get stimulated by androgen and produce excess sebum. Sebum is an oily substance produced by oil glands of skin. Over produced sebum clog’s pores on skin and prevent the release of dead skin cells. Thus dead cells, sticky sebum attract bacteria which thrive in these pores to form acne. Back acne have to be treated very carefully as back skin is very thick and oil glands produce more sebum. Back acnes leave ugly scars when healed.

I took accutane earlier this year, but I still have a lot of scarring/red bumps on my chest and back. I would love to get rid of them before summer if possible.
