Understanding the condition

Causes

What causes Back Acne?

Back Acne or ‘backne’ is a skin concern found on the back and shoulders. This can be due to a few different factors, but mainly as a result of an accumulation of oil within the pores of the skin and dead skin cells which result in back acne, acne scarring, inflammation and blemishes over time. Back acne is usually formed by causes such as hormones, stress, sweat, genetics, diet, or certain medications.

What to look for

Symptoms

Back acne, sometimes called bacne, appears on the back, shoulders and upper arms. You may notice:

  • Whiteheads, blackheads and inflamed red spots
  • Larger, painful cysts in more severe cases
  • Redness and irritation, often made worse by sweat and tight clothing
  • Marks or scarring left behind once spots heal

Because the skin on the back is thicker, breakouts here can be more stubborn than on the face.

Treatment cost

Find the right treatment for your back acne

Treatment is priced per session, with most patients needing a course of sessions for visible improvement. Prices for each recommended treatment are shown below.

What to expect afterwards

Aftercare

Caring for the skin after back acne treatment helps calm the area and reduce marks:

  • Wear loose, breathable clothing and shower promptly after sweating
  • Avoid picking or squeezing, which can lead to scarring
  • Use gentle, non-comedogenic products on the back
  • Apply SPF to any exposed areas, as treated skin is more sun-sensitive
