I have terrible acne on my back...
...and I feel really uncomfortable wearing swimsuits or halters.
It’s hard to have fun in the sun when you’re worried about bacne. But back acne is quite common.
Dr. Vivian Bucay, a dermo in San Antonio, Texas, suggests showering after sports practice, dance class or any activity that causes you to sweat. “Wipe the area with an astringent or toner to eliminate bacteria until a shower is available,” she says. “Good products include benzoyl peroxide. I also recommend something with glycolic or salicylic acid.”
