I have weird red pimple looking things on my back..?

I have these weird pimple things on my back. What are they and how do i get rid of them??|||It%26#039;s very common and some people call it %26quot;chicken skin%26quot;. It%26#039;s actually called Keratosis pilaris. Dermatologists usually recommend a lotion called LAC-lotion (or %26quot;Lac-Hydrin%26quot;) 12% ammonium lactate. You apply the lotion to the bumpy skin once or twice a day. It works quickly and you should see some results after the first or second application.





The lotion is supposedly an over-the-counter lotion, but you may have to ask your pharmacist where to find it. I%26#039;ve never seen it on the shelves at my pharmacy, and I was able to get a prescription for mine from my dermatologist.|||Wonderful! Glad to be of help. Report Abuse
|||Probably pimples. First of all, make sure you wash your back when you shower (use one of those back scrubbers) and try to use an anti acne face wash on it - I use mine on my chest too. They used to make some body scrubs with like that, but I haven%26#039;t seen them recently. It needs to contain %26quot;salycilic acid%26quot; in it.


Second of all, shower every night or morning. You don%26#039;t have to wash your hair then if you don%26#039;t want to, but wash your back. It%26#039;s the sweat and oil that clogs the pores. Also, when you do wash your hair, wash your back AFTERWARD - I was getting pimples behind my ears because I wasn%26#039;t getting all the shampoo off the skin there and it clogs the porest too.


Third of all if you work out, NEVER sit around in those sweaty clothes after your work out, take a quick shower and change right away.|||Are there a lot of them? If there%26#039;s only a couple I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. My husband has very oily skin and gets some kind of pimple/ingrown hairs on his upper back occassionally. I think it%26#039;s because he just can%26#039;t reach that part of his back with the soap in the shower. Maybe try using one of those loofah%26#039;s on a stick.|||they probably are acne. alot of people get them on their backs. try using acne products on it; but not any products that are meant to moisturize ur skin. if you are just starting to get them; its probabaly caused from being in the sun. being in the sun alot does cause ance breakouts for certain skin types.


good luckk =]]|||I get acne everywhere. My back, my arms, my legs. :-S





Try using a back brush maybe that will help with some powerful acne-fighting body wash.|||NEVER ADD MOISTURISER ON IT|||Wear clean clothes that is recently washed. Dusk on clothes can make your skin breakout! Keep your skin clean!
