Body acne

July 8th, 2009

Depending on its severity, body acne can range from unnoticeable to very embarrassing. It is important to remember though, body acne is almost as common as facial acne, you are definitely not the only person that is suffering from this.

Body acne is highly genetic, meaning that it passes through the generations. If one of your parents had body acne, you are at a higher risk to get it. Facial acne generally looks the same no matter what, sometimes you get a big pimple on your face, sometimes you get a smaller one… You know the deal, but body acne has a broader range of its looks, feel, sizes… You never really know what you are going to get, this is normal.

Body acne is often caused by the irritation of one’s skin. If you notice that certain clothes/ accessories are causing acne across your body, it may be wise to avoid wearing it. Also, there are rumours that fabric softener can make body acne worse, so try to avoid using it if you can.

If you have mild to moderate body acne, then whatever normal acne treatment that works for you on your face should work for you on your body [in most cases]. If you have severe acne, I highly recommend that you book a visit to your dermatologist. They know what they are doing, and they have the power to prescribe to you powerful body acne treatments that you will not be able to buy over the counter.
