Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. Back and chest acne, if left untreated, can worsen and leave lasting marks. “I keep getting pimples on my back.” “My chest gets itchy and red bumps appear.” “Every summer, I avoid certain clothes because of back acne.” Back acne (commonly called “bacne”) and chest acne are more common than many realize. But unlike facial acne, they often require a different approach due to differences in the structure and behavior of the sebaceous glands. Today, let’s take a practical and clinical look at what causes them, how to treat them effectively, and how to prevent recurrence. Why does back or chest acne develop?
In summer, with more sweat and skin contact, breakouts on the back and chest are even more likely. Important: Not all body acne is typical acne. Differential diagnosis is important, especially when considering:
How is it treated? At YSBB Skin Clinic, we personalize treatment depending on the underlying cause:
Note: It’s difficult to extract back acne yourself. Improper squeezing can worsen infection or lead to scarring. Everyday habits that help
Also, avoid oil-based products and rinse-off conditioners that run down your back, as they may clog pores and trigger breakouts. When to consider in-clinic treatment If breakouts keep coming back or cover a large area, in-clinic care can accelerate recovery:
Because the skin on the back is thicker and breakouts often cover a wide area, regular and consistent treatment is key. Final Thoughts Back and chest acne originates deep within the follicle, so surface treatments alone may not prevent recurrence. At YSBB Skin Clinic, we look beyond the surface—addressing the root causes, lifestyle triggers, and long-term recovery through tailored treatment plans. YSBB Skin Clinic, Seoul, Korea

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed tiny white bumps or painful red pimples on your face? These are two very different types of acne—commonly known as whiteheads and inflammatory acne. They may look similar at a glance, but their causes, treatments, and risk of scarring are quite distinct. Today, let’s take a closer look at both types of acne and how to treat them effectively from a dermatologist’s perspective. 1. What Is Whitehead Acne (Comedonal Acne)? Whitehead acne is a non-inflammatory form of acne caused by sebum becoming trapped in pores. It appears as small, firm bumps that are white or slightly yellow, typically without redness or swelling. This is considered an early-stage form of acne.
Treatment Options:
With early care, whitehead acne can often be resolved without scarring. 2. What Causes Inflammatory Acne? Inflammatory acne occurs when whiteheads become infected with Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and trigger an immune response. This leads to redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes pus. If left untreated, it can damage the deeper layers of skin and leave scars.
Treatment Options:
Prompt treatment is essential to prevent dark spots and pitted scars. 3. How Do Scarring Risks Differ?
Whitehead acne rarely causes permanent damage if addressed early. But inflammatory acne can affect deeper skin layers, often requiring additional treatment for scars. Final Thoughts Not all acne is the same. Whiteheads and inflammatory acne differ not just in appearance, but in how they should be managed. Ignoring early-stage acne or neglecting inflamed breakouts can lead to pigmentation and permanent scarring. At YSBB Skin Clinic, we:

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. As the hot and humid season approaches, many people struggle with excess sebum and enlarged pores. When daily cleansing and skincare aren’t enough, professional treatments can offer powerful solutions. Today, let’s take a closer look at Jessner's Peel — a dermatologist-approved method to deeply cleanse pores and improve skin texture. 1. What is Jessner's Peel? Jessner's Peel is a professional chemical exfoliation treatment that blends multiple active acids — salicylic acid (BHA), lactic acid (LHA), and resorcinol — to target both surface layers and deeper inside the pores. This combination works synergistically to remove buildup, control oil, and refine skin texture, making it ideal for oily or acne-prone skin types.
2. Why is it Effective for Pores and Sebum?
3. Who Can Benefit from Jessner's Peel?
4. What to Expect After Jessner's Peel

Welcome to Skin Insights by YSBB. Many people experience frequent acne flare-ups on the chin, which can be both stressful and difficult to manage. Chin acne tends to recur more often and develop into deeper inflammation, making it more likely to leave scars if left untreated. Today, we’ll walk you through why chin acne becomes severe, why proper care is essential, and how to treat it effectively. 1. Why Does Chin Acne Keep Coming Back? Chin acne is commonly triggered by hormonal imbalances. In women, androgen levels rise before and during menstruation, causing overactivity in the sebaceous glands and increased breakouts. The chin area also tends to be frequently touched or irritated by face masks, making it more vulnerable to bacteria and friction-induced flare-ups.
2. Why Is It Risky to Leave Chin Acne Untreated? Chin acne often develops into deep, inflammatory lesions. When inflammation reaches the deeper layers of the skin, it can cause significant damage, leading to scarring and pigmentation. The chin has thicker skin and slower cell turnover, so acne scars in this area can be especially stubborn and difficult to treat later on.
3. How Should Chin Acne Be Treated? Timely and accurate treatment is essential. At YSBB Skin Clinic, we provide a structured, multi-step approach to help effectively manage chin acne based on each patient’s skin condition. Treatment Steps at YSBB:
