In this video, Dr. B. S. Chandrashekar, dermatologist from Bengaluru, Karnataka, addresses the often-overlooked issue of back acne (commonly called bacne). Though it may be out of sight, it should not be ignored, as timely care can prevent discomfort and scarring. By breaking myths, avoiding mistakes, and adopting smarter lifestyle practices, bacne can be managed more effectively.
Dr. Chandrashekar explains that medicated body washes with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide are helpful in unclogging pores and reducing inflammation. Along with treatment, small lifestyle changes such as showering immediately after workouts, choosing loose cotton clothing, and avoiding heavy, pore-clogging lotions play an important role in prevention. When acne becomes painful, deep, or starts leaving scars, professional help is essential.
