Is it normal to have back acne when i wash my back everyday?

I have really bad back acne and it makes me really self cautious to wear tank tops and things like that. Help.

Sincerely,
Teenage in pain

    Acne doesn't just develop because of dirty skin. Hormones, stress, oil, etc can also cause it. Experiment with different cleansers to find what works best for you.

    I think it's nomral. Many of us wash our faces everyday, but still get acne. Yes it could be hormones and or diet. I know when I stop eating sugar and refined carbs, my acne goes away.

    This is what u should do that is more effective than pro-active (according to IIN members and it worked for me too) get otganic olive oil, and baking soda. Put on a coat liberally of olive oil first. Then take baking soda and scrub your back. This works!!! U dont see it advertised on tv like pro-active bcuz nobody is getting rich from this to pay for commercials for this.

    Don't scrub it! It will only make it worse! Go see a dermatologist! Also don't wear backpacks for a while!
