Today, let’s talk about the causes of acne on the chest and back.
- Strong oil secretion
There are many reasons why girls are prone to acne on the chest and back. In many cases, it is caused by excessive secretion of subcutaneous fat. Our back skin has many sebaceous glands, so the oil secretion is quite active, and the amount of back sweating is also increasing in summer. Over a long period of time, the oil and dirt accumulated in the skin and hair follicles will easily become clogged and eventually accumulate to form acne.
- Inadequate cleaning
Not only need to work hard to remove makeup, but also pay attention to the skincare of our body. When taking a bath, if the residues of chemicals such as shampoo, shower gel, antiperspirant spray, perfume, and so on are not cleaned, they will also have certain irritation and harm to our skin. Over time, the skin will also have acne and comedones problems. Therefore, girls with long hair are recommended to wash their hair in the bath and then tie it up before washing the body. This will help reduce these residues.
- Folliculitis
Folliculitis is a purulent inflammation that takes hair follicles as a unit and is confirmed to be hair follicles. It is a bacterial infectious skin disease, which is mainly caused by staphylococcus aureus, a few are caused by other bacteria such as staphylococcus epidermidis and streptococcus. It is mostly found in high-temperature and humid environments.
Acne is mostly caused by sebaceous gland obstruction, but acne may also be infected with bacteria and become folliculitis.
When “acne” develops on the chest and back, first pay attention to clean skin and apply antibiotic ointment locally. If the condition is more serious, such as enlarge “acne” areas, redness, swelling, ulceration, or fever, you can go to a dermatology hospital for treatment as needed.
