How can I prevent back acne?
You may not be able to prevent back acne. But ask your healthcare provider if any medications you take (such as corticosteroids) may be causing back acne. You can also lower your risk of getting back acne by:
- Changing your clothes after you sweat.
- Keeping your skin clean.
- Limiting the use of sports equipment (like football pads) and heavy backpacks.
- Managing stress levels.
- Remembering to use sunscreen.
- Using noncomedogenic products.
- Wearing loose-fitting, sweat-wicking or cotton shirts.
