Back Acne

Acne, Back, Chest, Cure, Treatment....... all common words from sufferers of Back Acne. Like most facial acne, back acne is caused by a situation where sebum (naturally occurring oil) cannot find it's way up through the hair follicle tube and out of a pore because of a blockage. The blockage is usually caused by old skin not shedding evenly, or in the case of cystic acne, a hormonal imbalance has caused the Sebaceous Gland to create too much sebum, and as a result the gland has burst and caused inflammation and pain.

Some people put the cause of back acne down to sweating and tight fitting clothes, but there does not appear to be any conclusive proof that these are causes. Sweating can actually assist in clearing away dead skin, and this would in turn assist in the clearing of the follicle tubes.

As for tight clothing, realistically you'd need to wear non-permeable plastic-like clothing 24/7 to have any major impact on your skins ability to regenerate.

Back acne treatment in most cases is the same as any other acne. You need to attack the acne from both the inside and the outside, while promoting healthy, clean skin at the same time. In some cases acne on the back or chest can be more prominent than with facial acne, but this is most likely because people tend to care for their facial skin more than their back or chest - you wash your face more thoroughly than your acne back chest). So the first clue in the treatment of acne on the back or chest would be to use a purpose-made cleanser to properly clean the skin from dirt and bacteria. The second step would be to use a lotion or gel that is designed to unplug pores and eliminate acne causing bacteria from the inner most layer of the skin to the skin’s surface. In conjunction with the Gel, it is recommended to use a medicine/capsule formulation that promotes inner health and detoxification which can be at the forefront of acne creation (hormonal imbalance).

So, like the treatment of all other types of acne, a back acne treatment program is recommended, rather than just using a single product and hoping for the best. The Zenmed system is definitely recommended as it does this using natural ingredients with no side effects.
