Acne on upper back

Some people often get acne on their faces. Although there are not many pimples, they are very distressing. Some people also get acne in places that others can't see. Acne on the upper back is more common among many men. In fact, the reason why acne appears on the back is the same as that for acne on the face. The upper back corresponds to the lungs and heart. If you always get acne on your back, you should pay attention to the function of your heart or lungs and strengthen the care of your back.

Acne on the face is the most distressing, but in fact, acne in places that are invisible to others is also very distressing. In addition to the face, the back is also a hard-hit area for acne. Many young men have acne all over their backs. In traditional Chinese medicine, the back is a microcosm of our human body and has areas corresponding to the internal organs. Acne on the back can reflect the condition of the internal organs.

Acne on the back

The upper back corresponds to the lungs and heart, the lower back corresponds to the spleen, stomach, liver, and gallbladder, and the waist corresponds to the kidneys, bladder, large intestine, and small intestine. The health of the back often directly reflects whether the internal organs are functioning normally. It can be seen that the back is a barometer of health and a solid protective barrier of the human body. Whether it is a child in the growth and development period, an energetic young and middle-aged person, or an elderly person enjoying his or her retirement, paying attention to the back and properly maintaining the back is equivalent to injecting vitality into health.

How to deal with acne on the back:

1. Take a bath with salt water

Take a hot bath to warm up your body. After your pores are fully opened, apply a large amount of salt on your back and massage for 1 minute using a bath brush. Don't rub too hard, massage the salt as if it is rolling between your back and the brush. Prepare diluted salt water that is slightly lighter than seawater. Dip a cotton pad in the salt water and apply it on your back after taking a shower. After 10 minutes, wash off the salt with a shower.

2. Massage with essential oils

Essential oil massage has a good calming and anti-inflammatory effect. Going to a beauty salon regularly for an acne massage once a week will have a very significant effect. But if you don’t have enough time and energy, you can also choose to do an essential oil massage at home after taking a shower every day. It can not only enhance the activity of the back skin, improve antioxidant capacity, and eliminate internal dirt, but also soothe the back muscles and eliminate fatigue caused by work.

3. Treatment of back acne can be combined with cleaning supplies

People who already have acne should be extra careful when cleaning their backs. They should scrub gently as they would their facial skin. This will avoid irritating the pimples on the back too much, as excessive scrubbing will aggravate the occurrence of acne. You can choose a long-handled brush with soft bristles, hold the brush in your left hand and brush from bottom to top on the right back, hold the brush in your right hand and brush from bottom to top on the left back. For those who are prone to acne on their neck, remember to brush around the neck as well. You can massage the back in a spiral counterclockwise direction to speed up blood circulation and stimulate metabolism.

4. Apply acne-removing products

After washing your back, you can use a clean soft towel to gently absorb the moisture from your body, and then apply a thin layer of acne-removing and anti-inflammatory products to reduce the inflammation of acne on your back. Applying it once a week can help back acne disappear faster and also remove aging cuticles. When choosing acne-removing products, it is recommended to choose products containing sulfide ingredients. In addition, you can go to the supermarket and buy a piece of sulfur soap to use as a bath solution, which can speed up the acne removal process.

5. Pay attention to the order of bathing

Because the weather gets hotter in the summer, the skin on the back will be more prone to oiliness and sweating. If it is not cleaned in time, the bacteria and sebum will be blocked in the pores, thus breeding acne and blackheads. Therefore, if you find that you often get acne and blackheads on your back, you should do a good job of cleaning and caring for your back.
