Q: Why do I keep getting chest acne?
A: Apart from the face, acne can occur anywhere on our body. It tends to concentrate on the back, chest and shoulders where there is a higher density of hair follicles and oil- and sweat-producing glands.
Chest acne breakout can be caused by hormonal fluctuations and consuming foods high in sugar.
Exercise may cause chest acne breakout as well. Friction from skin rubbing up against clothes combined with sweat can cause a person to develop acne on their chest. To help prevent this, a person should wear loose-fitting shirts and shower off shortly after a workout. If showering right away is not an option, a person should use a wipe with an acne medication.
Some people may find that certain laundry detergents, particularly ones with dyes and perfumes, cause an acne breakout. A person who traces their outbreaks to laundry detergent should look for dye and perfume-free detergent.
Similar to scented laundry detergent, perfume may irritate the skin causing acne to form. Makeup may cause a similar reaction as well as potentially clogging the pores. A person who finds that makeup or perfume causes breakouts should avoid applying to their chest to avoid breakouts.
If you are already suffering from chest acne, the fastest way to get rid of them is to combine using Alyaa Essence and AC Clear Smoothening Lotion to unclog the pores, kill the bacteria and reduce inflammation. On the other hand, these product can help you to prevent getting recurrent chest acne too!
Early treatment can help prevent the damage to the skin which may lead to permanent scarring.
Last but not least, take good care of your skin by wearing clean clothes to prevent dirt and other contaminants from getting stuck in the pores.
