A member asked:
Is back-acne caused by the same thing that causes facial acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Exactly the same thing. Because you can't "see" your back, it's easier to neglect cleaning it well, and the acne can appear to be worse. But it's the same thing from start to finish. Same treatment. Same skin care.
