Understanding Back Acne

• Back acne is often caused by excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. Hormonal changes and stress can also be triggers.

Over-the-Counter (OTC) Treatments

• Consider using topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Apply as directed on the product label.

Prescription Medications

• For moderate to severe acne, oral antibiotics like Minoz OD 100 (Minocycline) may be prescribed. Consult a doctor for suitability.

Skincare and Lifestyle Tips

• Use gentle cleansers, avoid tight clothing, and refrain from picking at acne. Maintain a balanced diet and manage stress.

When to See a Dermatologist

• If acne persists or worsens, seek professional advice for personalized treatment options.

Medication Brands Available in India
