It is the proliferation of sebum which is secreted by the sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands produce oil on the back, not just the face and chest, especially between the shoulder blades, and this causes people who are acne prone in the first place to break out in this location. The sebum clogs pore and hair follicles through oil and dead cells, thereby attracting bacteria into the skin’s pores and infecting them.
This irritates the skin on the back and leads to the dreaded onset of back acne, which some view as tough to treat because of the hard to reach area. Things like menstruation and pregnancy in females can even lead to back acne.
