Body acne is acne on the back, chest, shoulders or buttocks, caused by oil, sweat, friction and clogged follicles. Some bumps are fungal or follicular rather than true acne, so diagnosis matters. Treatment includes body peels, laser, medicated washes and sometimes oral medication. At Louave in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul, a dermatologist identifies the cause first.
