Buttons on the back, also known as "Le Bacné".

For some, acne is not limited to the face, but also affects the back. This phenomenon, known as "bacne", can quickly become a real complex, as it's not easy to treat and can even be painful. As with acne on the face, pimples on the back can be caused by external or internal factors. Here's how to recognize and effectively treat this type of acne.

What is Bacne and how does it appear?

Bacne" forms in a similar way to facial acne, i.e. due to bacterial inflammation of the pores. But other factors, such as perspiration, friction or hair products, can contribute to the appearance of pimples in this area. The skin on the back, which is thicker than that on the face, can accumulate impurities more easily, especially if it's exposed to rubbing from clothing.

Factors favoring Bacne

Bacne can be exacerbated by several factors:

• Genetic predisposition As with facial acne, genetic predisposition may play a role.
• Perspiration and friction The back is an area that is often covered, and perspiration combined with friction from clothing can cause skin irritation.
• Hair care products Masks and conditioners can run down your back when rinsing, leaving a film that clogs pores.

Solutions for treating Bacne

1. Appropriate Back Cleaning

Gentle, appropriate cleansing is essential. As with the face, opting for a gentle, non-irritating cleanser that doesn't upset the skin's natural balance can really make a difference. For example, Clean That Face can also be used to effectively cleanse the back without aggressing it.

Cleaning Tips :

• Shower after sport If you sweat a lot, take a shower after each sporting activity to limit the build-up of bacteria.
• Rinsing and drying After using hair products, be sure to rinse your back thoroughly and towel dry gently to avoid clogged pores.

2. Use of Targeted Care products such as Buttock Time

For targeted action on pimples, Fesse Time can be an excellent option. This treatment, designed for pimples on the buttocks, contains lactic acid, which helps cell renewal and acts as a gentle chemical exfoliant. Applied regularly, it will make your skin smoother and reduce imperfections.

Why Lactic Acid?
Lactic acid is a gentle exfoliant that doesn't aggress the skin, but helps remove dead cells. Used in a cream like Fesse Timeit promotes skin renewal and reduces the risk of new inflammations forming.

3. Avoid Grainy Scrubs

While it may be tempting to exfoliate with a grainy scrub, this can often aggravate the problem by irritating the skin and further stimulating inflammation. Prefer gentle chemical exfoliants, such as lactic acid or salicylic acid, which penetrate pores and cleanse without irritating.

Additional tips to prevent Bacne

In addition to cleansing and the use of targeted skin care products, other lifestyle habits can also limit the appearance of pimples on the back:

• Avoid tight clothing Tight-fitting clothes increase friction and retain perspiration, which can aggravate bacne.
• Change bed linen regularly Bed linen accumulates bacteria and product residues, so it's essential to wash it regularly.
• Moisturize your skin Even acne-prone skin needs moisturizing. Opt for a light moisturizing lotion to avoid overloading pores.

Medical Treatments for Persistent Bacne

If bacne persists despite treatment, it may be advisable to consult a dermatologist. In some cases, specific treatments may be required, such as benzoyl peroxide, a powerful antibacterial active ingredient that helps reduce inflammation and deep-cleanse pores. Only a professional can guide you towards the right treatment for your skin type.
