These pimples are much larger, more painful and extremely difficult to get rid of. But, as we know, nothing is impossible, if only there is a desire. Of course, the most reasonable solution would be to go to a dermatologist. Only a doctor can objectively assess the scale of the disaster, find out the cause of acne and choose the appropriate course of treatment. This means that it is the doctor who should be asked to answer the question of how to get rid of acne on the back. Self-medication in this situation may not turn out very well. But a lot also depends on the person himself - if you want to get rid of acne on your back, you will have to follow a number of rules. And you should not forget about traditional medicine - there are many very effective remedies that will be an excellent addition to the main treatment of acne and pimples.
General rules, which can not be forgotten
If you want the treatment to be truly effective, pay attention to the rules below, which must be strictly followed. So:
- clothing
The best choice for you now is -natural fabrics: linen, cotton, viscose, wool, depending on the season. Synthetic fabrics do not allow the skin to breathe and significantly worsen the situation if a person suffers from acne on the back. In addition, it is advisable to refuse tight clothing models, tight and hard straps. Firstly, this helps to eliminate itching and pain, and secondly, it reduces the risk of recurrence of acne and pimples.
- Proper skin care
You also can't do without careful skin care.First, take a shower every morning. Second, take a warm bath with potassium permanganate every evening. Just never pour crystals directly into the bath - an undissolved crystal can cause a burn when in contact with the skin. Therefore, dissolve potassium permanganate in a small bowl, and then pour the solution into the bath, be sure to use gauze. Do not make the concentration too high - the water should be light pink. Otherwise, the skin will dry out too much, which will not have the best effect on acne. If you notice that your skin is starting to dry out even with a weak solution of potassium permanganate, reduce the number of baths - take them every other day. Another interesting point - the sequence of washing. In most cases, people first wash their body, and then their hair. However, with acne on the back, the sequence should be reversed - First wash your hair, and then your body. And be sure to rinse off shampoo and shower gel thoroughly - if they remain on the skin, they can cause clogged pores and, accordingly, new breakouts of acne and pimples. Pay attention to the body washcloth - it should be soft enough. Remember that skin affected by acne is extremely sensitive and very easily damaged. And this should not be allowed under any circumstances, so as not to provoke a deterioration in the skin condition. It is best to use sponges for washing, intended for small children. And if the situation is really dire, there are a lot of pimples and they are inflamed, give up washcloths altogether for a while. Pay attention to the towel - doctors strongly advise against drying yourself. The maximum you can do is blot the water. This is explained simply - most often the cause of acne is an infection. And intensive movements with a towel only contribute to its spreading over the skin. By the way, do not forget to change the towel daily!
- Ultra-violet rays
It is widely believed that in the treatmentacne on the back cannot be treated without ultraviolet rays - many even go to a solarium specifically for this purpose. However, dermatologists warn against this rash step - excess ultraviolet radiation is not only useless, but also very harmful for acne-affected skin. Therefore, during treatment, you should avoid not only visiting a solarium, but also direct sunlight.
- Baby powder
In the summer, when a person sweats a lot,the number of rashes, as well as acne inflammation, increases significantly. To avoid this, you can use the most common baby powder without fragrances. Just sprinkle it on the skin on your back and the result will not take long to come.
- Multivitamin preparations
Get rid of back acne without normalthe immune system is almost impossible to function properly. And it often just needs your help.

Well, within reason, of course.
- Mechanical impact
The worst thing you can do istry to squeeze out the pimples. There will definitely be no sense in this, but harm is guaranteed. In most cases, trying to squeeze out pimples leads to infection and, as a result, inflammation. And boils are clearly not what you need right now. The inflammatory process can be so strong that you will need to resort to treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Power Correction
In order for the treatment to be as effective as possibleeffective, you need to radically revise your usual diet. You need to exclude all spicy food, fatty and fried foods and, of course, all sweets from the menu - especially chocolate. If you can't imagine your life without sweets, replace them with nuts and dried fruits. In addition, you need to give up carbonated drinks, alcohol and coffee. Fermented milk products, fruits and vegetables, cereals and water should be a priority. The more clean drinking water - the more. Of course, if you do not have kidney problems - in this case, you need to discuss your drinking regime with your doctor.
- Stressful situation
Remember the popular expression that says thatall illnesses are caused by nerves? It is also true in this situation - stressful situations do not contribute to the fastest possible relief from acne. Therefore, try to take care of your nervous system. Of course, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate stress from the life of a modern person, but it is quite possible to reduce it to a minimum. By the way, if necessary, you can ask your doctor to select a suitable sedative for you. As a rule, the most harmless means are enough - motherwort or valerian tincture.

It is very easy to do - wet a cotton swab and cauterize the pimple, as if with chickenpox. Repeat this procedure every evening.

- Salt bath

And the duration of the bath should not exceed 20 minutes. Ideally, you should take a bath with salt at least three times a week.
- Bath with decoction of herbs
A salt bath is simply irreplaceablefor rashes. But, alas, it is contraindicated in cases where a person has a tendency to hypertension - increased blood pressure. But do not be upset - we are getting rid of acne, aren't we? We are, which means we will look for other ways. For example, a bath with a decoction of certain herbs. Buy the following herbs at the pharmacy: succession, oak bark, celandine and chamomile. Mix them, place 10 tablespoons in an enamel pan, pour a liter of water and bring to a boil. Then wrap the pan with a towel or blanket and leave to brew for five hours. In the evening, strain the decoction and pour it into a warm bath. The duration of such a bath is 30 minutes. You can take such a bath every evening - there will be nothing but benefit. By the way, such baths will improve the general condition of the skin.
- Blue clay

Generously lubricate the rashes on your back and leave until the clay dries completely. As a rule, this takes quite a long time, so it is most convenient to do this mask in the evening. Two or three procedures a week are enough for a month. And then - as needed.
- Aloe
If you have aloe in your home, it would be foolish not totake advantage of its beneficial properties. For treatment, you will need 10 aloe leaves and some honey. Aloe must first be kept in the freezer for three days, otherwise the effect will be lower. So, peel the aloe, mince it and mix thoroughly with honey - the mass should be quite thick. You can make some in reserve - place the mass in a jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator. The treatment is simple - generously lubricate all the rashes with ointment, put gauze napkins on top and leave for 15 minutes. Then rinse the skin with water and lubricate with baby cream. Repeat this procedure until the inflammatory processes disappear. Do not forget that this method of treatment is strictly contraindicated for people with an allergic reaction to honey. But you should not give up aloe in this case - just replace the honey with sour cream. True, in this case the compress should last at least an hour, and you will need a polyethylene film over the gauze. And you shouldn’t make this remedy in reserve — it won’t keep for more than three hours anyway. As you can see, there are many ways to get rid of acne on your back. But remember that individually they are unlikely to be effective — it’s not enough to go on a diet, take baths, or use external agents.
