How to remove back fat granules

Fat granules on the back are usually caused by incomplete cleansing, overly oily skincare products, follicular keratosis, blocked sebaceous ducts, or seborrheic dermatitis. It is recommended to seek medical advice promptly, identify the underlying cause, and then improve the condition under a doctor's guidance through general care, medication, or other treatments. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Incomplete cleansing: Sweat, oil, and dirt on the back can clog pores, preventing sebum from being excreted normally and leading to fat granules. Wash the back daily with lukewarm water and an oil-control cleanser. During bathing, gently cleanse with a soft-bristled brush to prevent oil buildup.

2. Overly oily skincare products: Using heavy body lotions or essential oils may overwhelm the skin’s ability to absorb them, resulting in clogged pores. Switch to lightweight, easily absorbed moisturizers and avoid applying high-oil-content products on the back to reduce pore burden.

3. Follicular keratosis: Abnormal keratin metabolism causes blockage of hair follicle openings, forming small granule-like fat deposits. Patients may apply topical medications such as tretinoin cream, urea ointment, or salicylic acid ointment as prescribed by a doctor to soften keratin and unclog pores.

4. Blocked sebaceous ducts: Excessive sebum production combined with narrow ducts can obstruct sebum outflow, causing it to solidify into firm fat granules. Under medical guidance, patients may use medications such as isotretinoin gel, adapalene gel, or vitamin A and E cream to promote duct clearance.

5. Seborrheic dermatitis: Inflammatory stimulation disrupts sebaceous gland function, leading to abnormal sebum secretion and fat granule formation, often accompanied by oily scalp and flaking. Patients may use ketoconazole shampoo, selenium sulfide shampoo, or tacrolimus ointment as directed by a physician to control inflammation.

In daily life, choose loose, breathable cotton clothing to avoid prolonged pressure on the back. Maintain a light diet, reduce intake of high-sugar and high-fat foods, and keep a regular sleep schedule to avoid staying up late. Never squeeze fat granules manually to prevent infection or scarring.
