Help! I always get pimples on my back. How can I stop this from happening?
Back acne could be caused by an imbalance of bacteria in your gut
“If you have acne on your back, you need to do more than simply deal with what you see on your skin, you need to treat the cause, and this requires investigating the gut. Most cases of microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) inside the body manifest as acne.” Says Skin Care Expert, Dr Maureen Allem. Go ahead and ask her a question!
Think you might have this problem?
Some of the other symptoms of microbial imbalance include abdominal pain, recurrent vaginal infections, skin rashes, diarrhoea, and recurrent bladder infections.
Fix it
Visit a doctor and get yourself checked out if you think you have this condition. It can usually be corrected by adjusting your diet, like lowering animal proteins and including more green, leafy goodness.

Thank you for this very informative article
I am suffering of bacne, it is affecting my daily life can’t wear short sleeved shirts as it is bad on my shoulders. What can I do to treat it ?
I suffer from bacne feels like forever. Apart from that is there anything else I could probably try?
Interesting information. I never knew about the bacteria in the gut.
I have suffered from back acne from as long as I can remember and I don’t have any of the other symptoms for gut bacteria imbalance. I always thought this was genetic because my dad has it and a few of my cousins
dont suffer from this but ever heard of cupping? maybe it could help as well.
