Body Acne Treatments

Body acne refers to pimples or breakouts that appear on areas other than the face, most commonly on the back, chest, shoulders, and upper arms. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts.

Symptoms

• Pimples or red bumps on the back, chest, or shoulders

• Whiteheads or blackheads

• Painful cystic acne in severe cases

• Dark spots or marks after healing

Treatment

• Chemical peels for acne-prone skin

• Laser or light therapy
