Acne On Your Body

By Lucy Collins

Do you have body acne? Finding the right treatment to clear it up right away is easier than you think.

Contrary to what many people believe, acne is not only a facial problem. In fact, a vast number suffer from acne on other parts of their body which in most cases, has spread from their face. In reality, wherever you have pores, you can get acne and that means, you can get acne anywhere on your body. In the event that you are indeed suffering from some form of body acne, you need to find a suitable cure without delay.

Body acne treatment is a lot different than treatment of acne on the face. Luckily, most body acne can be covered up most of the time and skin on the body isn't as sensitive as skin on the face, so you can try harsher treatments. Treatments might not be necessary, though - make sure there isn't something in your life causing the acne like a fabric softener or deodorant.

Wearing a lot of tight clothing that is constricting to the skin can cause body acne in some cases, so rid yourself of clothing that can't breathe properly. Wear clothes that are made of natural fibers as well, because they breathe the best and can keep your skin moist.

As most sufferers know, exercise is a great tool against your fight with acne but if you find you are having frequent outbreaks, it is more than likely due to the increased amount of sweat resulting from the exercise. To combat this, be sure to shower immediately after each exercise session as this will effectively prevent the sweat and body oil from going into your pores.

If the problem is really persistent, it may be necessary to discuss it with a dermatologist in order to get some recommendations as far as acne sprays are concerned. Alternatively, most drugstores will stock a wide variety so a trip to your local store may be all that is needed. An added advantage of these sprays is than most come in dispensers which make it possible to spray all those areas which are difficult to reach.

If you've changed your style of dress and deodorant, then I would seriously recommend a form of topical treatment, either in lotion form or as an antibiotic. Here again, the average drugstore has a huge variety and most, if not all, are available over the counter without prescription. For the most part, these topical treatments are highly effective so don't be afraid of trying one or two of them.

If all else fails and you have found that these treatments are not working for you, then look to your doctor for something stronger. Usually your doctor, or dermatologist will be able to prescribe a medication that will come in pill form, and you will take it once a day.

The correct treatment is out there for you. You just need to look a little to find it, and try out some body acne treatments. Even the doctor cannot tell what might work for you in most cases, so it is just a case of trial and error. - 17274
