@CPandABfangirl that's what I thought, being clean should help, you HAVE to make the extra step if you want to get rid of it. Get a loofa or however you spell it, get some natural/organic type soap, and scrub your back. Keep some stubble on your face (I did this) and acne tends to go away after awhile. I'm almost 21 and still get acne, had it for at least 7 years. Just a part of our bodies, it sucks.

Thank you for this video! I’ve went to multiple dermatologists for years, and never got an actual solution for my back acne. I was always prescribed expensive medications, both oral and topical treatments that never worked so I’m excited to see OTC options available 🤞🏼

Neutrogena used to have a SA body lotion that went with their body washes. Discontinued for some reason. So sad! Thanks for the great info!

My face was clear but i had bacne. My dermatologist in the Philippines asked me to take Nizoral capsules & to use the Nizoral shampoo as a body wash. She said my acne was most likely fungal. It helped my bacne. Another thing that helped a lot was having laser hair removal of my back & regular TCA peels. I now have very clear, smooth back.

@@tatertots2395 I think the regular lasering helped with the scarring, I'm not sure because I'm no expert but I think that the lasers helped slowly get rid of the skin and made the skin repair itself slowly reducing the scarring. I think its similar to micro needling in a sense it creates little burns instead of punctures to cause the skin to heal over itself. Just my theory, again I'm not expert and my phrasing isn't the best.

Thank you for these tips! My back acne is very painful and I’ve had it for about 3 years and have had enough of it.

I will suggest the walgreens 10% benzoyl peroxide bar. It's easy to use in the shower and spreads easier than the panoxyl which is really creamy and hard to use. And as tough and embarassing as it may be I have learned that wearing tops and shirts that expose my back, shoulders and upper chest help a lot to make my acne go away because my skin is able to breathe instead of having all my natural oils and sweat trapped by clothes that cover.

I get the deep painful ones on my neck and back, definitely going to talk to my dermatologist. Thank you!

Dr dray I’ve been following you since the beginning and absolutely adore you and how far your channel has come. You’re an absolutely incredible person and I am beyond grateful for you… someone I don’t even know. ❤

For those of you that have tried anything and everything, try thinking of what might be causing it. If you just started getting these problems, and similarly just started using a new conditioner or hair spray, try looking into that.

I'm 63 and am suffering from Bacne and a few breakouts on my face. Good grief. It's ridiculous at my age and very frustrating.

Dr Dray I’m not one to suffer from body acne (knock on wood) but a few years ago my back broke out horribly. After a thorough investigation turns out the culprit was a new hair conditioner I was trying out. I’m addicted to your videos, I enjoy the scientific approach to skincare-this is such a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks for the derailed video! Was wandering about acne on the chest? Ok to use Panoxyl there or will it be too harsh? I've always thought skin on the chest was more similar to the face than back...

Coming back here to write that a week ago I had terrible back acne and today it’s almost completely cleared... amazing. That 10$ for panoxle really paid off

I just clicked on this so I don't know if she'll mention it but a HUGE thing that will help with bacne is rinsing your conditioner out *before* you wash your body or washing your body again after conditioning (if you washed while letting it sink in). Residue from the conditioner will stay on your back otherwise and, unless you have the best genetic composition on this earth, WILL clog some pores/result in acne. My boyfriend has painful, persistent bacne that could probably benefit from seeing a dermatologist, but when I told him to wash after conditioner, there was a significant, notable reduction in the pain, frequency, and amount of acne on his back. If yours won't go away no matter what and you haven't tried this, it may offer some relief.

Great video! Maybe you could one about using oils. There are so many and the prices vary too. I've been thinking about buying a vitamin E oil or jojoba oil for the body but I'm not sure if it'd be worth it. Thanks !

What do you think of Murad clarifying cleanser? It's helped my face so much, makes me wonder if I should try it on my back and arms

Eh.. Back when I was a truck driver, I really neglected my self care. I had chronic back acne, deep painful ones as well as little pimples. I say chronic because I've had this problem ever since I turned 18 and got much worse when I became a truck driver. But I finally found something that works for me. It's cheap, natural, but a little controversial, although I don't think it should be. I've been experimenting with it for a couple weeks now and I'm surprised with the results 😃 Borax powder! I use the 20 Mule brand from Walmart. Everyday in the shower, after my normal routine, I get a little borax powder on my fingers and gently exfoliate all over my back. My upper back was the worst so most of my focus was there. It's really working tho! The borax powder crystals are pretty thick so you don't need to press hard. You'll feel the gentle scrub. It leaves your skin feeling smooth and relaxed. Also, after my shower and after drying, I get a little more borax powder and apply it like baby powder over my back. It can be a little drying so I apply a bit of vaseline. You can probably use any lotion but from my experience, i've learned that some lotions actually make me break out, so I stick to vaseline instead.

Hi Dr Dray. Could you please tell me what do you think about “Paula’s choice”products?

Wow, very informative video. I'm especially glad to hear that I've always been right in ignoring the '30 second' application instruction on my Benzoyl Peroxide and always leave it on for a good 5 - 10 minutes before rinsing so that it actually has time to do something.

I started applying hibiclens to my face to get rid of bacterial acne after using a mild face wash. So far it seems to be working.

Dr Dray, I'm new here and hoping you respond! I've had back acne for a couple years. More recently it is also on my upper front torso between neck and chest. It flares up then calms down. Approximately 10 spots on upper back. It gets sore and bleeds, scabs etc. I already use a neutrogena dandruff shampoo bc i also get sores on my head. I have no facial acne at all. This has only been in the last couple years of my life and I'm 41 y/o female. Should I be showering every single day? I have very dry skin and had heard to not overdry the skin or that causes reactions too. I'm so confused. Please help!

I had "bacne" a few years ago which was caused by my "Dove" hair conditioner. I was putting tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide ointment on it and nothing worked. Then I had a eureka moment and realized what was causing it. Once I stopped using this particular conditioner my acne went away within a couple of weeks. It has never happened with any other conditioner, even if it's more emollient, which I find very strange. Thanks for another awesome video!!

Hi I've been using 10% benzoyl peroxide on my back every day, but each time I do (as well as throughout the night/day) I get super itchy all over my back, even though I moisturize.

Dr Dray. My son is 38 years old and still has back acne. When he was younger he was on Accutane twice. The current dermatologist would like him to start up Accutane again. It really affected him in terrible side effects. He currently uses Brevoxyl body wash along with a soft back brush. It is helping. Can he also use salytic acid on his back afterwards? Sometimes the Brevoxyl bleaches clothing.

Have you guys tried sulfur soap? I'm trying this for a week now. I plan to try it for about 2-3 months. I hope it works.

What do you think about the Neutrogena body clear body wash? I have pimples on my butt and I wanna try it since I've heard good things about it, it also has salicylic acid. Would the grapefruit one be a worse option than the orange one since it has fragrance and I have sensitive skin? Would love to know your opinion.

Is it okay to use a fabric brush in the shower to lightly apply the body wash/acne wash? I feel to some extent it is necessary to use some force (usually friction) to push the soap molecules against the back so it can do its job right? In other words it seems necessary to use a brush to apply the wash to the entire back because it's hard to reach with one's own hands and that risks getting more oils on one's back

Stop exfoliating. Physical exfoliation irritates your skin making acne worse. Try chemical exfoliation instead as it will help get rid of acne and lighten acne scars. Also, try to shower with hot water at first and then before you leave the shower, rinse your whole body with cold water for a minute. And check out the brand called the ordinary. Also try putting tretinoin on your skin. It reduced my acne and lightens scars but you have to be patient while using it. I suffer from the same problems as you so I understand how it feels. We’ll get through it though so keep fighting and don’t give up

Hi Dr. Dray. As an epidemiologist and skincare junkie, I have to say I much appreciate your evidence based approach to skin care. I have a question about waiting times when putting on forms of Vitamin A. My tretinoin requires me to put it on a freshly cleansed face and wait until it is completely dry before putting it on (the instructions say 20 min). I've also seen other people (not medical scientists) say they wait at least a half hour after adding actives (like Vitamin A, AHAs, BHAs, etc.) before layering on moisturizers or other hydrators. To you knowledge is there any evidence on the efficacy of waiting times, before and after actives? I notice you also put Adapalene on after a hydrator, is it not necessary to put it on dry, clean skin like Tretinoin? Your advice is greatly appreciated. Have a nice Friday :)

Hi Dr Dray, I've been using the Panoxyl creamy 4% wash for my back acne for a few weeks now but it has gave me loads of skin colour bumps and more spots all where I didn't have them before - on the tops of my shoulders, down the top of my arm and round the side of my arm near my armpit. There's quite a lot of them and they weren't there before do you know what has caused this? And how to get rid of it? Really appreciate any help you can give. Thank you
