================== ARTICLE START ==================

What Are The Causes of Body Acne?

Body acne can range from the relatively harmless forms of acne

mechanica to the rare, yet debilitating forms of acne

fulminans.

Body acne can arise from series of acne triggers. For instance,

excessive rubbing or constriction by clothing can cause acne

mechanica. On the other hand, body acne can result from pores

on the back getting clogged by sunscreens or hair products that

dribble down onto the back.

Acne fulminans is a systemic acne disease with far reaching

side effects. Triggers for acne fulminans are varied and could

include a weak immune system or liver. This rare condition

appears suddenly and predominantly affects young males with

previous episodes of acne.

Acne lesions may appear on the face and other areas of the

body.With acne fulminans, the patients body may be covered with

inflamed nodules that can develop into painful ulcers.

People with acne fulimans can suffer from bone pain and various

forms of arthritis. In some cases, acne treatments with

isotretinoin may aggravate acne fulminans as explained by Dr.

Guy Webster of Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia.

In a Skin and Allergy News article, Dr. Webster advised that

the patients most likely to have this type of response to

isotretinoin are those with moderate or severe acne already on

the trunk or severe nodular acne anywhere on the body.

How Can I Reduce My Chances of Getting Body Acne?

You can easily avoid acne mechanica by showering immediately

after physical activity. Also, by paying attention to everyday

clothing and how it rubs against the skin can reduce acne

mechanica.

For instance, some women experience shoulder acne simply

because when putting on their bra, the bra straps rub too

forcefully against their skin. This is easily corrected by not

allowing the elastic to pull the skin.

If your back feels excessively waxy, it’s most likely that

residue from your hair agents have slid onto your skin. To

prevent this form of pomade acne, wash your back with soap to

remove the waxy build-up.

Will Acne Face Products Help?

In general, acne facial treatments are not strong enough for

body acne conditions. The skin of the facial area is much more

delicate than the skin covering the rest of the body.

Plus, over the counter medicines applied to the face are more

readily absorbed than topical medicines applied to the body.

That’s because the face has the greatest concentration of pores

of any portion of the body.

If used consistently however, over the counter washes

containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide will help remove

the waxy build-up on the body that can provoke acne.

When Should I See a Doctor About Body Acne?

See your doctor if your body acne is painful and getting

increasingly worse. Forms of body acne like acne fulimans can

develop into debilitating ulcers if left untreated. Moreover,

diseases like Crohn’s disease and bowel infections can

accompany acne fulimans.

In the end, body acne can be avoided with giving more attention

to what you do with your body. But when the acne formations get

too painful, see a doctor to ensure that you are not

experiencing any underlying diseases or health threats.
