BACNE 101

BACNE 101

Bacne, or back acne, is a common skin condition characterised by the presence of acne, pimples, or breakouts on the back. It shares similar characteristics with facial acne, such as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, or even cysts, but occurs on the back instead of the face. Bacne can be particularly distressing as it can be difficult to conceal, especially with summer around the corner when clothing choices tend to be more revealing.

The causes of bacne are similar to those of facial acne and can include hormonal fluctuations, excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, genetics, certain medications, and lifestyle factors such as diet and stress. Sweat and friction from tight clothing or backpacks can also contribute to the development of bacne.


Bacne is increasingly common nowadays, likely due to factors such as lifestyle changes, increased stress levels, and exposure to environmental pollutants. Additionally, the use of certain skincare or haircare products containing comedogenic ingredients can exacerbate bacne.

Treatment options for bacne include topical treatments containing ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Oral medications like antibiotics or hormonal treatments may be prescribed in severe cases. Pimple patches or spot patches can also be effective for targeting individual blemishes and reducing inflammation.
