Generally, acne results from overproduction of skin cells inside of their pores, which blocks pores.
And the blockage traps skin oil, creating a breeding ground for acne bacteria.
The overabundance of bacteria and the build-up of oil and skin cells usually breaks the wall of a pore, which tells the body to begin its immune response.
Finally, that response brings pus and redness to the cell and its nearby area, and that's how a zit is created.
Particularly on the back, acne is caused by irritating the skin, where strong rubbing occurs more often than on most other parts of the body.
