The causes and solutions of acne on the back of male students

Acne easily appears on the back of male students. Acne is considered a high possibility due to the combination of high sebum secretion on the back, Propionibacterium acnes infection, high secretion of androgen levels, and abnormal keratinization of the sebaceous ducts of hair follicles. The main treatment is to avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, greasy foods, puffed foods, and sweets to avoid triggering increased sebum secretion and leading to an aggravation of the rash. Topical sulphur soap can be given to be applied in the shower and rinsed off after a 5-minute stay, along with topical peroxymethylphenidate gel once in the morning and adapalene gel once in the evening. For more severe lesions, minocycline hydrochloride can also be given orally.
