What is the reason for the acne on the back? It is very itchy. Fungal infection or folliculitis must be taken seriously

If you have acne on your back and it is extremely itchy, you must not ignore this problem. Because the itching caused by acne on the back is likely caused by fungal infection, which can manifest itself in the form of tinea corporis. As patients, what should we do to better cooperate with the doctor's treatment? Let’s take a look.

What causes itchy pimples on the back?

Excessive oil secretion leads to folliculitis

Insufficient oil secretion and insufficient moisture replenishment of oily skin will cause the skin to become oily. However, if it is folliculitis, the acne on the back will be more numerous and larger, and you need to consult a doctor in time.

What to do: 1. If the skin has been infected, do not scratch it with your hands or other tools;

2. Please note that you should avoid chocolate and sugar during the treatment period. These sweet foods will make the skin secrete more oil, which is not conducive to the treatment of folliculitis.

3. Greasy and high-calorie foods are also not conducive to the recovery of acne and should be avoided as much as possible;

4. Go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to diagnose the cause of the itchy bumps and pimples on the back so as to control the disease as soon as possible.

Bacterial infection

When the back is fully infected by fungi, it is easy to cause acne and itching problems. In fact, if your back itches and feels like acne to the touch, it does not necessarily mean you have acne. You may be feeling deep blisters. If it is caused by bacterial infection, it is likely to cause diseases such as ringworm. If you want to know whether the red bumps and itching on the back are caused by infection, you need to do a fungal test in the hospital.

What to do: 1. If it is caused by a systemic disease that causes low body resistance, you should actively seek treatment to enhance resistance.

2. Keep your back dry and avoid sweating during treatment;

3. Pay attention to hygiene: wash your clothes yourself, and do not put underwear in the washing machine to avoid repeated infection with the virus;

4. The treatment cycle is 3-6 months, and medication should not be interrupted to avoid recurrence;

5. According to traditional Chinese medicine, beef, mutton and other "irritating foods" should not be consumed, so do not eat these during the treatment of back acne;

6. The most important thing is to control it early to prevent itchy acne on the back from causing infections in other parts of the body.
