The buttons located in the back, called Bacné, are linked to the obstruction of pores by an excess of sebum, dead cells or impurities. This form of acne affects approximately 15 to 30 % of the population and can persist in adulthood, especially in case of perspiration, friction or unsuitable routine.
Certain hygiene habits, although common, worsen the phenomenon. They concern in particular care applied in the shower. Without modifying these gestures, the risk of bacné persist, even with regularly cleaned skin.
Why pimples in the back persist despite good hygiene
Despite a regular hygiene routine, certain back areas are difficult to clean effectively. Limited access, the density of the sebaceous glands and the prolonged contact with tight or humid clothes promote the size of the pores. The most concerned regions are the neck, shoulders, shoulder blades and lower back.
The accumulation of sweat, mechanical friction or the absence of suitable drying help maintain an environment conducive to the development of pimples, even in the absence of acne in the face. This phenomenon affects both adolescents and adults, especially active people, exposed to heat, humidity or with oily skin.
How certain hair care causes pimples in the back
The hair care used in the shower is a frequent cause of bin bin. Shampoos, detangling, masks or conditioners often contain occlusive agents such as silicones, plant butters, oils, or waxes. During rinsing, these residues slide on their backs and settle there.
If the skin is not cleaned after rinsing the hair, these deposits obstruct pores, cause local inflammation, and cause pimples. The phenomenon is accentuated by the heat of the water, which expands pores and facilitates the penetration of comedogenic substances.
Another frequent error is to wash your body before rinsing the hair. In this case, hair products again contaminate skin yet already cleaned. The prolonged contact between the residues and the skin, combined with humidity, is enough to trigger or maintain a dorsal acne.

Anti-baccalated routine: gestures to adopt in the shower
The first effective measure is to modify the order of the stages in the shower. It is recommended to wash and rinse the hair first, then immediately clean the back with a soft shower gel, suitable for skin pH. This eliminates hair care residues before they plug pores.
The choice of cleaner is important. It must be non -comedogenic, without occlusive agents, and ideally enriched with soothing or purifying agents such as Aloe Vera or Aleppo soap. The use of a handle brush or an adapted exfoliating glove allows you to reach all areas of the back, even the most difficult.
Once or twice a week, a gentle scrub promotes the elimination of dead cells. Hydration is useful, but must remain moderate to avoid saturating the skin. Finally, it is recommended to change and regularly wash sports clothes, pajamas, towels or sheets in prolonged contact with the back, in order to limit reinflammation factors.
