Back Acne Treatment at Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, Incheon
Targeted Dermatologic Care for Clear, Healthy Skin on the Back and Body
Back acne—commonly known as “bacne”—is a form of body acne that affects the upper back, shoulders, and sometimes the chest. At Yeongjong Central Dermatology Clinic, we provide comprehensive, medically guided treatments for back acne, using a combination of topical care, oral medications, and in-clinic procedures to reduce breakouts, prevent scarring, and restore clear, balanced skin.
Understanding Back Acne
Back acne forms when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The back contains a high density of sebaceous glands, which can lead to deeper and more inflamed breakouts than facial acne. Tight clothing, sweating, and friction from backpacks or sportswear can worsen the condition.
Back acne is typically categorized as:
- Comedonal Acne: Blackheads and whiteheads
- Inflammatory Acne: Red papules, pustules, and painful cysts
- Post-Acne Hyperpigmentation and Scarring: Discoloration or texture changes after breakouts
Early intervention is key to preventing long-term skin damage or permanent scars.
Consultation at Yeongjong Central
Our dermatologists begin with a full evaluation of your skin and acne pattern to develop a personalized treatment strategy:
- Detailed assessment of acne type, severity, and triggers
- Review of lifestyle, skincare habits, workout routine, and hygiene factors
- Customized treatment plan combining at-home care and in-clinic therapies
- Recommendations for clothing, body washes, and habits to minimize flare-ups
Back Acne Treatment Options Offered
- Topical and Oral Medications
Includes prescription-strength topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide washes, and oral antibiotics or isotretinoin (Accutane) for deeper or cystic lesions. - Chemical Peels for the Back
Salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or mandelic acid peels help exfoliate dead skin, reduce oil buildup, and treat inflamed breakouts. - Laser and Light-Based Therapies
Blue light therapy, laser toning, or fractional laser can reduce acne-causing bacteria and improve skin tone and scarring. - Extraction and Cleansing Treatments
Medical-grade back facials with extractions, antibacterial cleansing, and calming masks are used to clear pores and reduce congestion. - Scar and Pigmentation Management
For patients with post-acne dark spots or indented scars, options such as microneedling, PRP, or laser resurfacing are available once active breakouts are under control.
