Back acne can be sometimes very difficult to treat for the main reason being the back being a bit difficult to reach all by yourself.

Toothpaste: Applying minty toothpaste on the back acne and leaving it till it dries out often treats them well; especially if the acne is big in size and pinkish in colour.
Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which has the ability to reduce the redness and itchiness associated with back acne.
Sandalwood and turmeric paste: Take one table spoon of sandal wood powder and half a spoon of turmeric powder and mix them together with water and apply on the entire back. Besides being a treatment to the skin it also gives a good texture to the entire skin.
