The cause of rashes on the back is often an allergic reaction to washing powders, too tight clothes and underwear made of synthetic fabrics, and excessive sweating. All these factors, as well as a large number of sebaceous glands on the skin of the back, contribute to irritation of the spinal epidermis and clogging of the skin pores, causing acne and pustules to appear on the skin. This phenomenon should not be left unattended, as it can provoke serious complications, including furunculosis. In the early and middle stages, the rash can be easily eliminated by having your back peeled at a beauty salon.
What is deep atraumatic back cleansing?
The term “atraumatic” reveals the meaning of this cosmetic method. The surface of the skin is cleaned carefully, without injury. At the same time, the procedure is considered deep and is carried out in a salon using professional products.
When talking about cleaning, we mean peeling using chemicals or using ultrasound. In the process of cleaning the back, the specialist uses a certain set of acids. They are not concentrated enough to leave a burn (this is used in medium peeling), but they are quite suitable for removing dead cells, sebaceous plugs in pores, and sebum.

Who is recommended for deep atraumatic back cleansing?
It is believed that cleansing should occur independently, i.e. without outside help. The sebaceous glands secrete enough secretion onto the surface of the skin to keep it smooth and soft, and its protective function to work.
Due to the deplorable state of the environment, the influence of ultraviolet radiation, hormone dysfunction and improper care, the condition of the sebaceous glands becomes worse. There is an excess of fat on the skin. If dead cells are not exfoliated in time, they accumulate in the ducts of the sebaceous glands. When exposed to air, fat oxidizes, which causes comedones - the so-called “black spots” - to appear. The source of inflammation is called acne (or scientifically, acne), and such skin is considered problematic.
Cleaning is prescribed for the following cosmetic defects:
- Excessive sebum secretion;
- Increased dryness;
- Enlarged pores;
- Blackheads, pimples;
- The appearance of acne;
- Formation of age spots;
- Photoaging;
- First age wrinkles;
- Aging skin;
- Gray or uneven skin color;
- Uneven skin surface.
Acid solutions have a beneficial effect on skin of any age. In addition, atraumatic back cleansing normalizes the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin fibers, which means that the process of rejuvenation is underway.

Causes of acne
There are several main causes of skin rashes on the back.
External reasons
Acne often appears due to wearing clothes that are uncomfortable or made from low-quality materials. The back often sweats, although it is not always noticeable. If clothing does not allow the skin to breathe, irritation occurs, since with this “greenhouse” effect bacteria multiply very quickly.
Pimples can appear due to improper hygiene: washing too often or too rarely, as well as using products that are not suitable for your skin type.
A sure way to skin problems is visiting the solarium too often, where the skin becomes dry.
Acne can be a manifestation of an allergic reaction to components of laundry detergent or body cosmetics.
Internal reasons
The most common internal cause of acne on the back, and indeed on the body in general, are hormonal disorders that occur during pregnancy, taking hormonal medications, in adolescence, as well as when the endocrine, digestive, and genitourinary systems are disrupted.
Stress and decreased immunity also negatively affect the condition of the skin.
Unhealthy diet - fatty, spicy, fried foods - also contribute to the formation of acne.
Types of acne on the body
- Red acne is the result of excessive sebum production or inflammation of the comedonal cavity itself.
- Purulent rashes – lack of timely treatment of acne, which, under the influence of external factors, turns into ulcers.
- Blackheads are comedones that occur due to the accumulation of dust and sebum on the skin, which is prone to oiliness. Subcutaneous inflammation can occur if the pores are clogged with scales and all the dirt cannot get out.
Contraindications to deep atraumatic back cleansing
Although cleaning is safe and low-traumatic, it happens that its implementation may be unacceptable. First of all, this concerns individual intolerance to drugs contained in the acids used.
In addition, there are some other contraindications:
- Skin diseases, including eczema, herpes, psoriasis;
- Pustular skin lesions caused by an increase in the number of staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria;
- Damage to the epidermis (burns, cuts, abrasions);
- Keloid scars;
- Large or unusual moles;
- Oncological diseases.
When these phenomena are not observed, nothing will interfere with the back cleaning procedure.
Skin of any age (no matter what quality) needs care, which will result in a disinfecting, restorative, rejuvenating and nourishing effect.
Maximum results can be achieved if the skin is not damaged and there is no risk to blood vessels. The effect lasts for a long time and does not require a tedious recovery period.

What are the benefits of deep atraumatic back cleansing?
- No mechanical injuries that occur during banal home cleaning with your hands, when you have to press, stretch and even slightly tear the fabric;
- Carrying out a procedure that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, inflamed, aging skin;
- Minimum contraindications (cleaning can be carried out even with progressive rosacea);
- Ridding the epidermis of comedones, pustules (pimples or blackheads), relieving inflammatory processes in certain areas;
- No traces after the procedure (redness disappears in a matter of hours);
- Instant transformation of the skin after cleansing, that is, you don’t have to wait until the skin becomes perfect.
Interestingly, a small concentration of acids makes the procedure painless and does not cause inconvenience. With atraumatic back cleansing, you can only feel a slight tingling sensation if the skin is hypersensitive. Please note that cleaning with acids does not risk spreading infection to the skin. At least, the anti-inflammatory result of cleaning is great, as evidenced by the rapid disappearance of redness.
It is of great importance that the procedure can be performed even in spring and summer. If you have the necessary preparations and knowledge, cleaning can be done at home. Treatment of a certain area of the skin with products is also practiced.
How to perform deep atraumatic back cleansing using chemical peeling
Cleaning is carried out in several stages.
- Standard treatment with a cleansing agent based on skin type. Thanks to the product, fat is dissolved, a layer of cosmetics and dust is erased.
- Peeling using a chemical solution based on fruit acid. The clean skin of the back is covered with a mask that protects the skin from external pollution. It opens the pores and partially dissolves dead skin cells of the epidermis. This cleaning is quite feasible at home using low concentration acids. If you want to get the effect of rejuvenating and healing your skin, you should use the mask no more than once a week. To remove inflammation, you can apply it every day.
- Peeling using high concentration acids. Typically, glycolic acid is combined with sour juice or extract of a certain fruit or berry (lemon, apple, grapes, raspberries, oranges), enzymes of papaya, figs. While applying the mask, the specialist gently massages the skin, helping the acid penetrate deeper into the skin. Increasing the concentration enhances the effect of the procedure: pores open more, the skin warms up, and blackheads can be easily removed.
- Next, the peeling procedure with enzymes is carried out. It contains whey protein. The goal of this stage is to completely open the pores and make the skin of the back as moist as possible.
- After completing the peeling procedure, the cosmetologist moisturizes the skin. To do this, cover it with napkins soaked in a moisturizer. Ten minutes is enough - and the napkins are removed, and the skin is treated with antibacterial lotion.
- The procedure for deep atraumatic back cleansing ends with the application of a special mask with a calming effect to the skin. It contains ingredients that will help remove inflammation and close enlarged pores.
The compositions begin to work immediately after application and within a couple of days after the procedure. During this time, sebaceous plugs dissolve, pores become cleaner, the skin brightens and looks younger.
Folk remedies for treatment
Constantly treat all problem areas with a cotton swab containing regular hydrogen peroxide (3% solution);- Salt or herbal baths, prepare decoctions of celandine or oak bark, you can use string, chamomile, or just add sea salt.

In addition to advice and prescriptions for pharmaceutical products from a doctor, there are also special masks for acne and comedones.
Soda mask
Helps well against an abundance of small pimples. Take regular baking soda, which has been used for many years specifically for acne, especially in teenagers, when the problem sometimes becomes catastrophic.
What you will need:
- Water;
- Baking soda - a spoon;
- Soap.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a homogeneous mass remains. Before treating your back, steam it thoroughly to open the pores. Then, using a cotton pad, apply the mask with gentle, circular movements without rubbing it. Lie down comfortably on your stomach. Leave for 10 minutes, then wash off the mask. After it, treat the skin with a medicinal cream.

Mask – sea salt, healing clay
First, fill a large bowl with water, then add sea salt there. Add clay when all the salt crystals have already dissolved. The consistency should be a paste, which you apply to all problem areas. Wait 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
If the doctor does not mind, ozone therapy also helps. There, a strengthening, powerful effect is exerted on the body, it increases immunity, this helps to quickly get rid of all foci of inflammation from the inside.
Pharmacy products special for acne also help a lot. Some of them are usually prescribed by a dermatologist, these are ointments or gels, for example, Differin or Zinerit, also Skinoren or Baziron.
Of course, an integrated approach works best when the back is given enough attention. These include food restrictions, masks, and doctor’s consultation.
Deep atraumatic back cleansing using ultrasonic peeling
The procedure for cleansing the back using ultrasound is divided into several stages. At the first stage, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin with lotion or milk intended for this procedure. Then, using vaporization (steaming), it opens the ducts of the sebaceous glands so that cleaning is more effective.
An excellent result is achieved by ultrasonic cleaning, but a specialist may recommend using a combined back cleaning that includes several types of effects. Combined cleaning combines a hardware method (vacuum or ultrasonic) and mechanical cleaning of the back skin.
The products used for back cleaning have disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. Each stage corresponds to certain preparations: preparatory, cleansing, final. In addition, the drugs are actively active for two more days after cleansing, during which the result of the procedure becomes evident: all the “plugs” disappear, inflammation goes away, the oily sheen is replaced by a healthy matte finish.
Cleaning time takes approximately 120 minutes.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
- Cleansing the skin;
- Toning;
- Use of enzymatic peeling (as prescribed);
- Skin preparation (application of hydrating gel);
- Ultrasonic peeling procedure using a special device;
- Applying a mask (if necessary) and unobtrusive massage;
- Application of nourishing serum and finishing cream.
At the last stage of cleaning, special masks, lotions, and creams are used that have a protective effect. They close enlarged pores, promote skin restoration and have an anti-inflammatory effect.

On foot
Reason: ingrown hairs.
To avoid inflammation on your legs, you should use anti-ingrown hair products before waxing or epilating. Such products usually contain various acids and urea. It is advisable to start using them a couple of weeks before hair removal. They are usually applied and not washed off. This will prepare your skin and prevent problems from occurring.
Care after hair removal is also important. An antiseptic must be applied to your feet. For example, a solution of chlorhexidine has worked well. It “works” as an antiseptic, but, unlike alcohol, it does not dry out the skin. This is one of the most affordable remedies; it can always be found at the pharmacy.
If you are bothered by unattractive purulent “bumps” on your legs, then antibacterial agents, such as Bactroban, will help get rid of them. You can also pinpoint inflammation using alcohol-free lotions with calendula extract. But you should not squeeze pimples.
