Many people suffer from acne on their back, regardless of age or gender. However, most often men and teenagers are prone to rash of these formations. In adolescents, they can be completely harmless: after all, acne often becomes a consequence of hormonal imbalance. However, adults should pay attention to their health if acne appears on their backs. Men have questions: "How to get rid of acne on the back and shoulders?"
If there is a reddish small rash on the back, this is a consequence of an allergy. Go to the allergist who will immediately deal with your problem. But if the rashes are larger and more uneven - look for other reasons.
The main reason for the appearance of such skin defects is problems in the functioning of the sebaceous glands. Usually this is due to a violation of the diet and too oily skin of the back. Acne on the back in men does not pass due to the very active friction of the body with a washcloth, but on the contrary, they multiply. Attempting to “erase acne” negatively affects the natural balance of the skin, causing it to become even more oily. How to deal with acne on the back, if their cause was too oily skin?
First, try increasing your fluid intake. Drink at least two liters of any non-carbonated water per day.
Secondly, take care of the intake of vitamins in the body. Vitamins A and E will be especially useful. If you want to determine exactly which elements you are missing, consult a doctor who will determine this by your analysis. The doctor will prescribe a course of treatment, and your body will receive all the necessary nutrients.
Thirdly, give up sweet, fried and fatty foods! Instead, choose raw fruits and vegetables.
Fourth, do back peeling every week, daily cleanse the skin with special lotions. Acne on the back in men is well treated with tincture of calendula, levomycetin and salicylic alcohol.
Fifth, if possible, go to a good cosmetologist who will carefully study your problem and prescribe a course of procedures.
Sixth, try not to wear tight synthetic clothing. Sometimes acne on the back in men appears due to the fact that the skin "has nothing to breathe."
If these tips have not yielded results, there is probably a problem with the presence of somatic disease. What can cause acne on the back in men?
One of the common causes is a malfunction of the endocrine system. An excess or deficiency of a hormone can occur in the form of unpleasant rashes on the back. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract cause the body to try to release toxic substances through the sweat glands. Acne can be caused by urological problems, pathologies of the urinary system, as well as diseases of the spine. In the latter case, rashes are located along the problem area. If the rash appears along the ribs, you may be suffering from intercostal neuralgia.
If acne was caused by internal diseases, do not try to treat yourself. After you undergo a course of treatment prescribed by a doctor, you will get rid of the cause of the rash - acne will disappear without a trace.
But if you still think that your rash on your back and shoulders appeared due to oily problem skin, try the next course of treatment.
Take a shower twice a day by cleansing your back with soap or gel for oily skin. Then wipe the affected surface with a disinfectant liquid: it can be solutions of furacilin, chlorhexidine or chloramphenicol . Solutions can be replaced with compresses from herbs - sage, yarrow, St. John's wort. After that, apply 10% Metrogil (gel) or synthomycin emulsion to the back. Within 10 days, take two tablets orally, twice a day, metronidazole or trichopolum. If this treatment has not yielded any results, do not postpone the visit to the doctor. Probably, nevertheless, your rash is a consequence of internal diseases.
