the worst thing about bacne is not being
able to pick at it effectively packing
is one of the things that drives
everyone crazy whether you're male or
female and I've suffered from
embarrassing back acne for years they
don't really know why some people get
more bacne than other people they do
have theories that some people are born
with larger oil glands and also more oil
glands implicating a more genetic
component of course you're huge
the worst thing about having bacne is
having bacne there's no like one thing
is worse than the other it's just it's
all bad during the teenage years back
knees usually do more to hormones our
hormones kind of drive our oil glands
and with more oil production than acne
can kind of act up i got bacne when I
was like in late teens early 20s bacne
definitely started in high school when
everything was terrible sweating can
also drive acne especially when you've
been going to the gym a lot because you
build up a little bit more bacteria
which again contributes to inflammation
nowadays I just get them when I'm
walking to work and it's really hot out
and I sweat a lot you can't escape it
you're sweating on a subway you're
sweating on an elevator you're sweating
everywhere and it's terrible the biggest
tip I give people especially for people
that are going to the gym a lot is you
should work in a benzoyl peroxide wash
it's both anti-inflammatory and also
antibacterial so having that in your
shower is a good tool just to kind of
prevent
some people notice that with a lot of
sugar intake acne can act out due to a
lot of inflammation that can be caused
by the sugar back knee is a part of life
and you just have to be confident and
deal with it
