Sometimes our minds feel like a crowded space full of small worries. Clearing them one by one is the only way to feel light again, and our skin can work the same way.
The upper back is a place where many blackheads and small cysts can collect over the years, often without the person even knowing they are there.
Blackheads are open pores filled with oil and dead skin. Their dark colour comes from the oil reacting with air, not from dirt.
When several pores close over, they can turn into small cysts that sit side by side under the skin, making the area look bumpy and red.
Sweat, tight clothes and long hours sitting with the back against a chair can make the problem worse, because heat and oil get trapped against the skin.
