Man taking a shower washing his hair.

Ugh. As if puberty wasn’t bad enough, with its hormones, insecurities, and acne; now you might feel like it’s rearing it’s ugly head yet again with a whole new set of breakouts on your back! It can be painful, awkward, and maybe even itchy. Sure, you might be able to cover it up during the winter months, but come summer — or a winter escape to a tropical locale — and you’re right back to 12 or 13 years old and freaking out about taking your shirt off again when you should be relaxing and enjoying the temperate weather. Don’t worry, as always, we’ve got your back -- almost literally in this case. We checked in with Dr. Anne Beal, M.D., M.P.H., to ask about what causes back acne and how to prevent and treat it.
