Understanding Body Acne and How to Manage It

Causes:

• Hormonal changes: Puberty, menstruation, or stress can trigger oil production.
• Sweating: Tight clothing or not showering after workouts can trap sweat and bacteria.
• Products: Certain lotions, body washes, or fabrics can irritate the skin.

Prevention and Treatment:

1. Shower Regularly: Wash sweat and bacteria off after exercise.
2. Use Non-Comedogenic Products: Choose body washes and lotions that don’t clog pores.
3. Wear Loose Clothing: Avoid tight clothes that trap sweat and bacteria.
