Bacne Anyone? (Back acne)

At 17 weeks FTM, I'm getting pretty annoyed at my bacne. Anyone else getting this too? I break out in random spots and they hurt not to mention itchy skin. I try not scratch but it's becoming unbareable! Any recommendations?

Re: Bacne Anyone? (Back acne)

  • Have you tried switching the soap you are using?  Maybe try using a moisturizing body wash instead of bar soap (if that's what you are currently using).  

    I was anxious about my skin around the time of my wedding, so I used "Jason (that's the brand name) tea tree oil body wash" and my skin looked great.

  • I have it too and have NEVER had any body pimples in my life! I've been trying to exfoliate more often and if I get a yucky red one (esp on my chest, ewwww) I treat it with witch hazel and they go down pretty quick. It's a lot of hormones unfortunately. DH also helps by checking me over where I can't see and he scrubs my back really well where it's hard to reach. I use "black soap" for my body and it seems to help some. 
  • I have noticed it too! im sure this heat (at least for me) isn't helping!
  • I had bacne for a while but it went away when I swiched soaps. I still have acne which sucks because I didn't even have this much when I was a teenager. Now I have to spend time on my face every day, which I never used to do. If I forget I wake up the next day with new pimples.

  • Ugh me. I'm so annoyed. Bacne and Chestne. haha. It's actually worse on my chest. I think it's a combo from the heavy moisturizer I'm using for stretch marks plus hormones. The pores are just naturally smaller on our backs and chests (especially chests) so the pores clog easier. I got a loofah/brush that has a stick on the other end of it to try and exfoliate better....still feels like a lost cause. I'm just making sure to use Vitamin E for scarring. 
  • Since I've been about 8 weeks my back had broken out to the extream. I'm embarrassed to wear anything but a t shirt. Just because everyone can see it. I've used so many things and nothing has works. But I guess a daughter steals her beauty from her mother so hopefully after I give birth things will work out a little better for me. I haven't had acne anywhere on my body in 5 hears except the occasional ones on my face duing my time of the month. If u find something let me know.
  • I got rid of it on my face and back, but it's crazy on my neck and chest. Nothing I do helps.

  • I too have back and chest issues! I have always had very good skin. I moisturize a ton and even get facials once a month. I also have it on my forehead near my hair line. I was wondering if it came from my hands as when I read I sometimes rest my head on my hands.. but I am afraid this is just part of these awesome hormones!
  • I'm going to switch soaps. I've been using an antibacterial soap and then dabbing with Melaluca oil (tea tree) from DoTerra. It's helped
