Body Acne Treatment
Body acne is much the same as acne on the face. However, body acne treatment can be slightly more aggressive because the skin on the body is much less sensitive than the skin on the face. Back acne is often a progression of facial acne, and has the same causes as facial acne. Irritation is a major factor in reducing the appearance of acne, and this is sometimes hard to manage with body acne treatment. For anyone who plays sports with pads, or often wears a backpack or other item where friction is made against the back, irritation is unstoppable. Sweat can also add to the appearance of body acne, it is best to shower as soon after activity as possible.
