How do you know if your back is hairy or hairless? Is back acne bad?

[James Bond]

Two part question:

So when I look at my back in the mirror, I don't see any hair what so ever. But I'm worried I have hair there. What can I do to assure I don't have any hair there? I can't shave, cause its near impossible to shave your back.

Also, I have a small back acne problem. If I were to wear a tank top, would people be disgusted by it? It's mostly near the middle of my back, but it might be slightly visible wearing a tank top, I don't have an acne problem on my shoulders though.

It you really want to be sure, you can ask someone. It can be difficult to see hair in a mirror, especially back hair because you're at an awkward angle and at a distance, and the hair is usually pretty fine. If I'm at a distance I can see a little bit of hair on my back, but up close out of a mirror I actually have a lot.

If it's a small problem, people probably won't think much of it. I would say go for it.

From far away I look hairless. And up close in the mirror i look hairless.

Then it's safe to say that........







You are hairless.

So if I were hairy on my back, I'd see it noticeably within 6 inches away from the mirror?

I get acne on my back too, but it goes away as long as I use an acne scrub regularly. As soon as I stop using it, it comes back.

Let me change that, when I look up really close I see hair. But it's more like peach fuzz.

if youre really worried about the hair issue ask a good friend to look. If you decide to shave your back like swimmers do you would need help any how. Ance is normal and everyone gets it use a good cleanser in the shower and a good scrubber it will go away and lay off the roids. Just joking about the roids.

I've been using Proactiv and it still hasn't cleared up my back -_-

You can ask a doctor about medicated acne treatment.

Ask a friend, use a mirror, set a camera with a timer, change your diet, wear your Bond suit

Lots of people have peach fuzz on their backs, even girls. I guarantee you unless someone is 3 inches away from you and actively looking for hair on your back, they won't find it. Shaving would just be unnecessary.

Back acne is very common and normal, so don't stress about it too much. As for hair, it's not really hairy if it's just peach fuzz.
