red bumps on back?

[Honey B. Fly]

i have like 3 bumps on my back that look like pimples? its like grossing me out, what couldve caused that? i almost think maybe my new laundry detergent is irritating my skin? idk what else, or maybe dry winter skin?

I think you'd see a lot more bumps if it was your laundry detergent. Try switching back to what you were using. In the meantime, exfoliate back there and use a nice creamy body wash to clean the area and then put on some calming body lotion. Hopefully that will break up the bacteria and clear it up.

If they are pimples, they usually occur on the back when you are sweaty and the sweat gets trapped there and forms a pimple. I have a friend who whenever she wears a sweatshirt or longsleeve to bed she breaks out on her back...so maybe that's it?? But as quinntastic said, exfoliating is key

okay i am still having a very random prob with this, about once a week or two weeks 1 will pop up, it'll be nice and clear and then all of a sudden ill wake up with a red bump on my back.

what could be causing it? i exfoilate in every shower with a medicated wash and i thought i had them under control. im a backless/tank/tube/halter top girl so this is like hell for me haha

they look like pimples to me, sometimes they look like small white heads, its never like full on acne, only 1 or 2.

i would loooove any advice or help right now.

This isn't advice but I just wanted to say I am in the same boat.
I have recently been breaking out on my back as well, and it's not white heads, more like bumpy pink pimples, the kind that comes out on the face around menstrual time.
I only use a creamy body wash, one that I have used for a while so I know that's not the cause.
I think exfoliating probably is key, but what would be an effective exfoliant?
