Acne on the back and neckline – where it comes from and how to get rid of it once and for all?

Unwanted pimples and skin lesions can effectively make life miserable. Acne is a problem we most often associate with facial skin, but it can just as often occur on other parts of the body, such as the back and décolleté. For many people, this is not only an aesthetic issue, but also a serious problem affecting the comfort of life. Find out what are the causes of acne on these parts of the body and how to get rid of it once and for all.

Acne on the back and décolleté is often the result of a complex combination of internal and external factors. As with acne on the face, skin lesions on the back and décolleté are caused by excessive sebum production, clogged hair follicles and bacterial growth. However, the skin on the back and décolleté has its own specific characteristics that play a key role in the development of acne.

Why acne develops so easily on the back and neckline?

• More sebaceous glands causes more sebum production, and excess sebum can clog pores and lead to pimples.
• Thicker skin on the back and neckline provides greater protection, but also makes it more difficult for sebum to escape to the surface, which promotes clogging of pores.
• Presence of hair follicles – each can be a potential site of plugging by sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria.
• Increased susceptibility to sweating especially during physical exertion and during hot weather or wearing inappropriate clothing. Sweat can promote the proliferation of bacteria and irritate the skin, leading to inflammation.
• Contact with clothing and other surfaces – friction, such as from backpacks, bags of tight clothing or bedding. This friction can cause micro-damage to the skin, promoting the penetration of bacteria and the development of acne.

The most common causes of acne on the back and neckline

• Hormonal changes not only during puberty, but also during pregnancy or before menstruation, can cause excessive sebum secretion.
• Improper care pore-clogging cosmetics, such as comedogenic oils, and inaccurate skin cleansing.
• Stress – high levels of cortisol in the body significantly affect the severity of skin lesions.
• Diet full of processed foods, simple sugars and dairy products can aggravate acne.
• Inadequate hygienea – infrequent change of bedding or towels can lead to transmission of bacteria and aggravates inflammation.

Care in the fight against acne on the back and neckline

The key to successful acne control is proper skin care. Regular cleansing and moisturizing of the skin is the basis that will help reduce and, over time, eliminate inflammation. Daily showers, especially after exercise, help remove sweat, dirt and excess sebum. After cleansing, don't forget to use a moisturizer. Even acne-prone skin needs adequate hydration to prevent overproduction of sebum as a response to dryness.
