Because the back has thousands of pores it is very possible for acne to develop. Back acne can be any of the following: pimples, blackheads, whiteheads or cysts. Unfortunately, these conditions can be more severe and more difficult to treat than facial acne. For some, back acne can even be painful or itchy.
Development of acne vulgaris in later years is uncommon, although this is the age group for Rosacea which may have similar appearances. True acne vulgaris in adults may be a feature of an underlying condition such as pregnancy and disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome or the rare Cushing's syndrome. Menopause-associated acne occurs as production of the natural anti-acne ovarian hormone estradiol fails at menopause. The lack of estradiol also causes thinning hair, hot flashes, thin skin, wrinkles, vaginal dryness, and predisposes to osteopenia and osteoporosis as well as triggering acne (known as acne climacterica in this situation).
