Body acne information

Body acne is obviously found on areas of the body namely the chests, shoulders, and back on both men and women. This form of acne is often less treated than facial acne because these areas are not always visible. Treating body acne is different than treating facial acne because body acne is found deeper in the skin and needs a more powerful form of treatment to get down the deeper layers of the dermis.

The pores of the skin on the body are different from the face. They are far bigger and active. The fact that most of the time they stay covered up does not help in the matter. Sweat, oil and synthetic fabrics irritate the pores and this can easily lead infectious bacteria to clog the surface, causing an acne nodule to form. Many reasons, such as hormone imbalances or over-activity also play a part in this. But the best way to prevent this acne from forming is to the keep the skin in a condition that does not make it easy for acne-forming bacteria to invade, and this where the Body Acne Combo comes in.

Cystic acne is a more severe type of acne occurring the pustule develops into small cysts. The most frequent description we hear from customers is that the pimple is larger, more painful and deeper then normal acne. It's directly caused by an excess buildup of sebum in the pores and, contrary to popular belief, it is not caused by hygiene. We have found that cystic acne is more commonly found on the body then on the face, but can occur on both. Cysts may occur singly, or be widespread over the face, neck, scalp, back, chest and shoulders.

While exercise is a important of a balanced life style there are a lot of people who report acne breakouts because of their workouts. Body acne is the most common form of acne reported. There are several possible reasons for the correlation between body acne and working out:

• Extra sweat clogging pores
• Extra testosterone being produced from weight lifting
• Adverse reactions to supplements being taken as part of a workout regime.
