Some people have acne on their back, which is also called bacne.  However, many people who do have bacne are not as overly concerned about it as facial acne.

However, if you plan on taking off your shirt for any reason such as when you go swimming, then you would probably want to take care of that bacne.  

There are several methods to employ in getting rid of back acne.  Since everyone has acne for different reasons, the methods used to get rid of bacne can also vary.  You might even have to try out different methods before hitting on the right one.

To get rid of bacne, you need to wash your back often, twice a day at least.  By washing with soap you get rid of the oil that accumulates on your back.  Do not use products that are oil based to clean your back as this only adds to the problem.

Stay away from oily and fatty foods.  Fried foods are also on the do not eat list.  Instead, eat healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables to keep your body toxin free.

Use acne treatment products that contain salicylic acid when washing your face.  Facial scrubs used to treat acne on the face can also be used on the back.

In the event that your acne is too severe for other remedies, you may wish to see your dermatologist for recommendations.  They can prescribe medicine that has more effect on acne.

In some cases, the dermatologist may use antibiotics to combat the bacteria.  However, it is used less nowadays due to bacteria becoming stronger and less susceptible to antibiotics.

Sometimes acne on the back is caused by hormone changes.  Your doctor may give you hormone balancing medication.  These medications have side effects that you should understand first before using.

Do not pop the pimples yourself since this only aid in spreading the bacteria around.  If you have to do it yourself, make sure you use a sterilized pin.
