How can an athlete such as myself treat and avoid back acne even when they are frequently sweating?

Difficult: Assuming you are showering before and after activities it is a real problem on the back . You can try talc powder on the back to try to absorb the moisture. You could also try prescription drysol but that is a longshot too. Wash with benzoyl peroxide wash. That should help. You may need antibiotics.
