## What are pimples on the back?

Generally speaking, pimples that appear on the back are a consequence of acne that affects people during puberty, regardless of their gender. However, it may also happen that pimples appear as a temporary condition due to hormonal imbalances, like pregnancy, or to other factors. 

Pimples on the back come with swollen and reddened skin injuries of various sizes, and they often are filled with pus. They appear in the same forms as acne does, therefore in forms of furuncles, open or closed comedones, respectively pimples or blackheads, papules, and in cases where the blemish is more extensive, in forms of cysts and abscesses.

The presence of pimples on the back usually causes symptoms such as pain, itching, inflammation, and swelling. 

## What are the causes of pimples on the back?

Pimples on the back are often caused by several factors combined together, and as we have already said, they usually affect teenagers regardless of their gender, because they appear during hormonal imbalances, like puberty. Nevertheless, they may also appear during pregnancy as a temporary condition.

Among the main causes of pimples on the back, we have to consider an excessive sebum production, which leads sebaceous glands to produce sebum that causes pores' occlusion. 

We also have to include genetics, which makes some people more likely to be affected by this issue rather than others, and ongoing bacterial infections. 

One must also know that there exist several factors that lead to the appearance of pimples, among which we have having a combination or impure skin, using products that do not suit one's skin type or that attack the skin, following an unhealthy diet, or exposing to the sun without applying solar sunscreens. 

Before going on, let's focus for a little while on pimples that appear on the chest: they often come together with pimples on the back, since they both are caused by the same reasons, that is hormonal imbalances, excessive sebum production, and unhealthy diet. In the same way as it is possible to prevent pimples from appearing on the back, so it is for pimples on the chest, as we are about to find out.

## How to prevent pimples from appearing?

Now that we have understood what the main causes of pimples on the back are, let's focus on what one can do to prevent them from appearing:

- first of all, **do not to remove pimples by yourself** by crushing, squeezing, or breaking them. 
- **Choose gentle products for cleansing** that do not attack the skin and make it drier and more irritated.
- **Avoid rubbing on pimples**, in particular when the area is inflamed, so as to avoid scars. 
- **Follow a balanced and healthy diet** and avoid abuse of fatty and sugary foods.

## What are the remedies for pimples on the back?

If prevention is not enough for you, do not worry: there exist natural and gentle remedies that help you to reduce the presence of pimples on the back and to restore the natural balance of the skin. Before going on reading, just know that the way in which you treat this issue depends on its severity and extension, and whether you think that a local treatment is not enough to take care of it, please go see a professional. 

Anyway, we are suggesting you some remedies that can be followed by everyone, because they deal with the issue at a general level.

- **Use gentle products** that cleanse the skin without attacking it even more;
- **Choose gentle exfoliants** to be done twice a month, but if and only if pimples do not come with wounds or any other kind of inflammation.
- **Opt for body lotions with light textures** to moisturize the skin without occluding the pores.

If you are looking for specific products, it is time to unveil what the best products to apply on the interested area are. 

##### Niacinamide to take care of pimples on the back

The first product we suggest you is [Niacinamide](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/niacinamide). Not only this active ingredient can be used on face skin to take care of blemishes and oily skin, but also on pimples on the back, by applying it on affected areas.

Niacinamide is one of the best ingredient to soothe irritations caused by pimples and to restore the natural skin's barrier. If applied on concerned areas, Niacinamide improves ceramides' synthetisation, which are essential to keep the skin hydrated and intact. 

Our serum [Niacinamide + Zinc](https://www.la-saponaria.com/face-serums-and-eye-contour/niacinamide-zinc-for-combination-skin-sebum-balancing-and-anti-imperfections-action) is able to reduce sebum production and the appearance of new blemishes, to soothe and dry the ones already present, and to make the skin more compact by minimising enlarged pores, redness, and scars. Moreover, Niacinamide + Zinc serum strenghtens and protects the skin's barrier.

Together with [zinc](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/zinco), which has soothing and astringent effects, this serum is the perfect ally to fight pimples, blemishes, and black heads. It can be applied both on face and back to take care of pimples and of inflammations they might cause.

[![Niacinamide Zinco 900x600](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/hs-fs/hubfs/Niacinamide%20Zinco%20900x600.png?width=1200&height=904&name=Niacinamide%20Zinco%20900x600.png)](https://www.la-saponaria.com/face-serums-and-eye-contour/niacinamide-zinc-for-combination-skin-sebum-balancing-and-anti-imperfections-action)

##### The right routine to follow

You can build a beauty routine focused on pimples on the back by including more than one product. If it's your first time , we suggest you start your routine with the [AHA Peel](https://www.la-saponaria.com/face-scrubs/aha-soft-exfoliating-peel-with-alpha-hydroxy-acids)to gently exfoliate the skin. AHA Peel is a monthly treatment that deeply cleanses and regenerates the skin, and it is highly tollerated by all skin types, even by the most sensitive ones, due to its mix of natural alpha hydroxy acids (5% concentration) that make the formula gentle yet highly effective. Please note that this product is to be applied on affected areas only. 

[AHA Peel](https://www.la-saponaria.com/face-scrubs/aha-soft-exfoliating-peel-with-alpha-hydroxy-acids) promotes skin renewal both from the outside, by making the natural turnover be faster, and from the inside, by being able to moisturize and protect the deepest layers of the skin. The cycle of the treatment is 6 days long (to be repeated once a month) and thanks to its renewing action, it makes the skin look more compact and bright. If you also use Niacinamide + Zinc, please know that you shouldn't apply both products on the same days: Niacinamide + Zinc is a highly-concentrated product, which makes it unsuitable to be applied right after the exfoliation phase so that to ptrvent the skin from absorbing too much product. You can start using Niacinamide + Zinc again once that the cycle with AHA Peel is over. 

[![900x600-Peeling-AHA-1](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/hs-fs/hubfs/900x600-Peeling-AHA-1.jpg?width=1200&height=800&name=900x600-Peeling-AHA-1.jpg)](https://www.la-saponaria.com/face-scrubs/aha-soft-exfoliating-peel-with-alpha-hydroxy-acids)

Go on with your routine by applying a light-textured body lotion to avoid occluding the pores. You can opt for our [Lime & Ginger Body Cream](https://www.la-saponaria.com/body-creams/lime-and-ginger-body-cream-travel-size), which leaves on the skin a pleasant feeling of freshness that may help to reduce the inflammation. If you prefer other scents, try our [Moisturizing Body Cream Iris & Ginger - Sorbetto di fiori e radici](https://www.la-saponaria.com/body-creams/moisturizing-body-cream-iris-ginger-sorbetto-di-fiori-radici) whose formula is enriched with natural active ingredients coming from flowers, fruits, and roots with moisturizing, soothing and rebalancing effects.

As to keeping your skin pure, do a body exfoliation at least twice a month, and go on with applying a body lotion and / or Niacinamide + Zinc to boost the effect of the cream.

##### [![Crema-Lime&Zenzero-900x600](https://blog.lasaponaria.it/hs-fs/hubfs/Crema-Lime%26Zenzero-900x600.png?width=1200&height=800&name=Crema-Lime%26Zenzero-900x600.png)](https://www.la-saponaria.com/body-creams/lime-and-ginger-body-cream-travel-size)

##### DIY remedy

If you are filled with creativity, try a DIY body cream to reduce the presence of pimples on the back. Here's what you are going to need:

- 100g of [DIY cream](https://www.la-saponaria.com/neutral-creams-and-cleansers/diy-cream);
- 2,5g of [**thyme hydrolate**](https://www.la-saponaria.com/hydrolats-and-toners/organic-thyme-hydrolate-calming-tonic-for-combination-skin);
- 0,15g rosemary essential oil;
- 0,15g of tea tree essential oil;
- 1,5g of [**neem oil**](https://www.la-saponaria.com/home/organic-neem-oil)

[Thyme](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/thyme) has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and healing effects, and it helps to soothe the irrations caused by acne. [Rosemary](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/rosemary) has astringent and purifying properties, which make it perfect to be used to take care of oily skin; rosemary hydrolate, which comes from steam distillation of the plant leaves, can be used to take care of acne, since it soothes the irritations and counteracts the bacterial proliferation responsible for the onset of new pimples.

[Tea tree essential oil](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/tea-tree) is an antibacterial and antimicrobial oil that is very useful when dealing with acne and skin infections thanks to its healing properties. It is one of the best natural remedies to fight pimples thanks to its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties that kill the bacterial population nestled inside the pores. It penetrates deeply, by balancing the production of sebum and promoting the disinfection of the hair follicles. It also helps to eliminate dead skin cells, thus preventing them from clogging the pores.

As to [neem oil](https://www.la-saponaria.com/glossary/olio-di-neem_1), it is a useful remedy to take care of acne because its active ingredients are able to inactivate some bacteria, including the golden straphylococcus, responsible for the formation of pimples and abscesses. Applying neem oil on the skin helps to drain, disinfect, and heal the skin by achieving results in a short time. Neem oil has moisturizing, regenerating, and reestructuring effects on connective tissues thanks to the presence of Vitamin E and fatty acids that make the oil antioxidant.
