    I've had bacne for 15 years.

    Nowadays it is less severe than beginning.

    Two days ago my mother applied neem oil. I thought no harm because once a year I take a course of neem tablets for two months.

    Later that day my back got colorless rash. And when I touch, it itches. And when I scratch, area gets red.

    How to fix this silly problem at home? Please help!!!

    Take antihistamines orally. They will make you a bit drowsy. Take care. Apply some soothing lotion like Caladryl on the affected part.

    I got my Mom to rub cucumber several times. It's soothing. Only after few hours the itch returns.

    Now I took shower and applied whole yougart. So far it's soothing.

    I'm just upset at myself for blindly trusting neem oil without researching it. My upper back is rather bumpy (quite unsettling).

    At least before my back was smooth even though it had small pimples scattered about.

    Hoping this resolves soon!

    Dandruff could also cause those back acne.

    Hi neem oil is generally very strong and it’s never recommended to apply directly to skin . It has to be mixed with other essential oils . The bottle doesnt have instructions ?? They are not mean for direct application at all .

    Bottle was from India, it didn't have these instructions.

    Guess we have to be super careful when using products from India (or at least use reputed brands)
