Hot showers can potentially exacerbate back acne by stripping the skin of its natural oils and causing increased inflammation.
It is advisable to use lukewarm water instead of hot water when showering to help prevent further irritation and breakouts.
Additionally, using a gentle cleanser specifically formulated for acne-prone skin and avoiding harsh scrubbing of the affected area can also help in managing back acne.
