Bros how do you deal with back acne? Had it for about 2-ish years now, but mainly become an issue now that I'm lifting, especially when using the bench. Sometimes the zits will hurt, especially ones on the shoulder area and it makes me squirm. Also it's disgusting.
Already shower every day, lukewarm water, change bedding and bed covers every week, started drinking more water in the last few weeks.
Sunlight kills the bacteria that causes this. Go take a nap shirtless outside.
>Go take a nap shirtless outside
>now have acne on my chest
t-thanks for the advice anon.
Does cutting out sugar work? Only one I haven't tried.
thats folliculitis bro
if its gotten worse since going to the gym, its probably from staph, gyms and hospitals are full of it, use a hibiclens or chlorhexidine gluconate cvs brand antiseptic wash on your back, bleach your sheets with hot water and change them once a week, shower after the gym, dont go to bed sweaty. I had the same issue after starting to bench, got it cultured and it was staph. Can also be caused by fungus or other bacteria, but most commonly its staph, shit sucks, also you're probably spreading the bacteria all over everything you sit on, which is why gyms are full of said bacteria and why you gotta wipe shit down before using.
How old are you? Maybe it´s hormonal.
Cut carbs/sugar, chocolate, and maybe dairy. Get some sun as well. Could also be caused by some soap or skin care product you use
It's a nutrition issue. It gets worse with lifting because you're getting more dehydrated.
My advice is
>cut the starch and vegetables
>eat fruit that digests well for you
>eat red meat mainly
>eat dairy
>more coffee and sugar
>A LOT OF SALT, in your food AND your drinks
You will notice that your acne probably gets worse during the summer and gets better during the winter. Again, dehydration, hormones etc. etc.
morons like this spout nonsense with FULL confidence while being completely off mark. Kys
Yeah, dont know how many times I heard "oh, you gotta eat healthier! Cut carbs! Cut Sugar!" Like bro, what're you, a women?
Go to a dermatologist, she'll culture it, and tell you if its bacterial, give you an antibiotic and tell you to clean your sheets and shower with antiseptic shit, if its regular acne, they can give accutane which sucks but it works if its normal acne.
"Cutting carbs" or "cutting sugar" "eat healthy" is all crap normally if you're not so obese that you can't wash yourself properly.
Dealt with this myself:
Stop using all shampoo, shower gels, deodorants, aftershave etc. Use soap only under your arms and your groin. No other products anywhere on your body.
Stop eating anything but meat, dairy, and vegetables.
Eat 100,000iu vitamin A daily until it goes away. Stop if your kidneys hurt.
Then change to eating a liver a few times per week.
Go topless as much as possible.
All moronic advice, go see a derm, seriously
moron. I've actually done this. Accutane is just a israeliteed Vitamin-A derivative which doesn't accumulate in your liver, but poisons you into sterility and roping yourself instead.
you eat like a slob, this guy is probably just eating chicken and whey.
Are you a drug dealer for big pharma? Doctors hate me, I've cured all cases of acne in five easy steps.
Frick off lactose intolerant mutt. Dairy is an essential food for white men.
I'm not saying take accutane, I'm saying eating better and working out isn't going to help what is essentially a superficial bacterial infection. "eliminating diary" or "cutting carbs" or "cut sugar" is just braindead moronic. Its the skin care equivalent of diet fads. Sure if you eat like shit you're going to have shit skin, but what OP posted a picture of, is folliculitis, its a bacterial infection, if OPs back looks like the pic he posted, he needs to follow the procedure to heal folliculitis, which, involves bleaching sheets or using very hot water, not just washing with detergent, and showering with hibiclens every other day, or taking a diluted bleach bath once or twice a week. None of that shit is "big pharma" meds, you're just completely moronic. Your post reads like a shady skincare ad "Cure all cases of acne in just five easy steps!" "dermatologists hate him!" frick outta here.

This cures all cases of acne.
>how to spot rip-offs
>consume vitamin A till your kidneys hurt
what the frick
STOP if your kidneys hurt. Learn to read.
you're a frickin quack and I hope people follow your advice
Probably genetic, I’ve never changed sheets diligently or done any measures to prevent it and I’ve never gotten acne there. I’d suggest accutane.
eliminate dairy from diet and by this i mean read every fricking label sometimes they put dairy in the wierdest shit like potato chips and try to reduce fat intake, if this don't work u need accutane, everyting else is meme advice.
sunbathe for 20/30 mins a day. that's it that's all you need
What helped me is using natural barsoaps with no chemicals and avoiding greasy food, helped with my acne in general. Using canola oil spray when cooking is very good, also AVOID POPPING, that can cause scarring and potentially cause infection and more acne
>tfw have horrendous back acne and even worse acne scars
It's so fricking ugly bros.
>this but also stretch marks
Frick it, i'm monstermaxxing
Take a bath.
Wash your clothes
Don't use the same towel for every bath
Wash your bed sheets
Stop being a fricking pig.
Exfoliate your back with a loofah or coarse sponge.
At least you don't have fricking keloid scars, I have one on my neck that looks like someone tried to fricking slash my throat and one on my shoulder from a vaccine I got when I was a kid. I hope I never cut my face or something or it will literally disfigure me
