In this guide you can learn a lot more about what blemishes on your back, legs, buttocks or arms are and not least how you can treat them. I have also put together a package with the products that I think you need to get rid of your blemishes – see it under “treatment”.

What are blemishes on the back?

Your blemishes can have many causes. The most important thing is to find out what it is you are suffering from. Is it ingrown hair, is it fungus, is it sebaceous cysts or is it pimples/acne?

You probably recognize ingrown hairs, and if that's what you're suffering from, you should read the guide on Strawberry legs, because you probably only need this treatment.
If these are sebaceous cysts that do not turn into actual pimples, you should read the instructions on Keratosis Pilaris, I think that the mild treatment together with a Mint scrub is abundant.

If your rash itches, becomes lighter or darker in color, is swollen, has larger areas, it may be a fungus or perhaps shingles, so you should see a doctor.

Why do you get pimples, blemishes or acne on your back?
Many different bacteria live on the skin. One of them is called Cutis Bacterium Acnes. This bacterium feeds on dead skin cells, and especially on the fat and oil that your glands produce. If the bacterium gets into a clogged pore, it will be able to develop, and when the body's immune system then sends white blood cells to fight it, a pimple is formed. Common pimples are called Acne Vulgaris in Latin. Acne means the skin disease pimples and vulgaris means common.

The skin contains many small hair follicles or sacs, each containing a hair and a cluster-shaped sebaceous gland. Sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum, which is normally secreted by the pore to lubricate the hair and skin. Pimples, or acne, are sebum and inflammation of the sebaceous glands/hair follicles. If the outlet to the skin's surface becomes blocked by dead skin cells or a lack of elasticity, the sebum clogs and the blackheads become inflamed and turn into tender, red nodules. Don't compare this to the blemishes that pimples, ingrown hairs or infection can give you.

What is the difference between acne and pimples on the back?
It's essentially the same thing, dermatologically speaking. Since it's the same bacteria that causes the pimple, you have acne, whether it's a single pimple or many. The largest pimples can leave scars. Deeper infections can lead to hard lumps under the skin called cysts – also known as cystic acne. If you suffer from this, you should see a doctor.

Who gets impure skin, pimples or acne on their back?
Almost all teenagers have acne. The problem usually disappears by the age of 25. The production of sebum in your sebaceous glands is greater during puberty and in women during their menstruation. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is responsible for the overproduction of sebum. As a teenager, it is often in the last third of adolescence that this hormone is high, and this is also when you will experience the biggest breakouts.

When it comes to areas other than the face, hard physical exercise can also trigger hormone production, and therefore also cause acne, pimples or impure skin. Tight-fitting clothing or work equipment can also cause impurities. If this is the case, try to keep the equipment as clean as possible, and have the equipment in as short a time as possible.

Why do I get blemished skin, pimples and acne on my buttocks?
Most people who experience pimples on their buttocks or direct acne on their buttocks also experience greater heat generation in this area. This suggests that tight clothing that does not allow the skin to breathe is more likely to cause pimples on the buttocks than loose cotton clothing.

A cautious conclusion about blemished skin on the buttocks is that it may be caused by tight synthetic clothing. It's easy to check yourself.

If you are prone to acne on your buttocks, or other blemished skin on your buttocks, an easy solution may be to use more moisturizer, preferably a product that also prevents clogging of the pores. I would recommend Raz Skincare Body Lotion and Raz Skincare Body Wash. If this does not solve the problem, you should read this entire guide on Impure skin on the body.

Possible causes of acne?
There are lots of articles and stories, tips and tricks, I have written much more about these in my guide on Acne Vulgaris.

Do sugar and alcohol cause acne?
There have been lots of studies done on diet and acne. In the vast majority of cases, changing your intake of sugar, chips and other unhealthy foods will not have a big effect on blemished skin as long as your intake is moderate. So if you drink yourself to death on Saturday and end up hungover on Sunday and eat chips, pizza and chocolate, you don't have to wake up with a face full of acne. It is only if you drink alcohol and consume sugar and other unhealthy things in very large quantities that it can have an effect on your skin. However, there are always exceptions.

Can a healthy diet help with my blemished skin, acne or pimples on my back?
There are many studies that show that a high-fiber diet with lots of vegetables gives beautiful skin and has good effects on your body. There are just as many studies that show that it does not have much effect if wrinkles and acne are genetic. A healthy diet can give you a lot of good things, but it will only have a big effect if your acne comes from irritated intestines or the like.

Will I get blemished skin, pimples and acne from exercising?
The skin is exposed to a lot of waste products that, together with your sweat, contribute to an imbalance in the skin. It is therefore important to cleanse the skin after exercise, which is fairly easy if you just take a shower.

Shower quickly. Sweat, waste products, and damp workout clothes are breeding grounds for lots of bacteria and fungi. The sooner your skin gets back into balance, the better.

If you use public bathing facilities, the soap may be of a type that your skin is not in balance with. Therefore, consider bringing your own washing products. I would recommend Powder to Mousse as this does not weigh much and it can be used for washing from head to toe.

Will wearing the wrong clothes cause blemish-prone skin, pimples and acne?
Tight-fitting clothing that does not allow moisture to escape from the skin's surface can cause skin irritation. This is sometimes seen with synthetic clothing, or as pimples on the buttocks of women who wear tight-fitting clothes.

Furthermore, tight clothing can cause friction against the skin, which can irritate the skin and cause pimples, blemishes or acne. This is often seen on the buttocks.

5 things you should never do when you have blemished skin, pimples and acne on your back:
5 things you should never do when you have blemished skin, pimples and acne on your buttocks:
5 things you should never do when you have blemished skin, pimples and acne on your chest:

1. Never scratch or pick at acne, pimples or blemishes. This irritates the skin unnecessarily and increases the chance of scar tissue and inflammation.

2. Don't believe in quick fix tricks. The skin takes its time. Home remedies with toothpaste or other remedies won't help.

3. Never let it sit. Your skin is out of balance, which is why the acne, blemishes or pimples have appeared. Start treating your skin right away, so you reduce the chance of too many more appearing.

4. Never try to squeeze, squeeze or pop a pimple or acne that is not ready. I know you want to, but in addition to causing it to burst, it also gives longer healing time and a greater chance of scar tissue formation.

5. Don't wear the same clothes for too many days in a row. Bacteria and other things can easily get stuck in your clothes and make your breakout worse. This especially applies to workout clothes.

Acne treatment
I am often asked what the best product for acne is. It varies from person to person, but I have put together a treatment that has created great results for many. You may not need all of them.

Morning and Evening
1. Raz Skincare Body Wash
Preferably with a brush or a washcloth so you can really clean it out.

2. Raz Skincare MDH
Apply Mdh as the last step. The herbs cause the skin to reduce sebum and sebum production, and therefore also prevent, among other things, pimples and blackheads. In addition, it lubricates the tubular pores, so that sebum can flow more freely.

3. Raz Skincare Body Lotion
Lotion is important, the ingredients should help you, if you don't wash both morning and night, then Mdh and Lotion are still important.

Other treatment
Raz Skincare Cp – Chemical Peel
1-3 times a week you can apply Cp to the affected area, it will dissolve the blockages. Leave on for 10 minutes before washing off.

Dietary supplements that can help with acne

There are various deficiencies in your body that can cause acne. That's why I've made a list of supplements that I think will help you.

Spectro – or another multivitamin.
Mega B Stress – skin, hair, nails.
Zinc Citrate 20 mg – fights bacteria and inflammation.
Multidophilus 24 – optimal digestion.
Ultra Omega – optimal fatty acids.
Vitamin C – immune system.

When will I see improvements in my acne?
Remember that we are all different. For some it takes 14 days, for others it takes 3 months before the skin is healed and beautiful again. I understand if you are impatient, but a product like Retinoid only has maximum effect after 12 weeks.

Will my acne treatment cause flare-ups?
Some people experience major flare-ups when they start an acne treatment – ​​but most people experience nothing. It is important to continue a treatment that you have started so that you reach your goal. Agents such as A-retinoid and dietary supplements can easily provoke a flare-up, but it should be fine on the other end.

How to remove acne scars?

Should I choose laser treatment for acne?
Laser treatment may be the right choice for certain acne breakouts. But do it through your doctor. There are many clinics, more or less professional, that offer laser treatment for both acne and acne scars. It's your skin, and you have to live with it for the rest of your life. I would therefore always choose a clinic referred by a doctor.

In severe cases – always seek medical attention.
