Skin Details

Body acne appears all over the body, but mostly targets the chest, back and shoulder areas. Unfortunately there is no one cause for acne or body acne, and it can be an annoying, and sometimes painful experience.

The only pain I associate with body acne is the pain of embarrassment. One of my current concerns is having an outbreak of blemishes on my back and shoulders during the summer months. It is difficult enough to feel comfortable in a revealing summer outfit without worrying about pimples popping up all over. I hate to think that the months that I spent whipping myself into shape are undermined by body acne that makes me cover up.

There is good news, though. Body acne can be treated with a few simple steps and there are products to help address more difficult blemishes. The Clear Skin Regimen is a popular choice for individuals who have normal breakouts but some may want to follow certain steps that lead to clear skin all over.

Most acne products include a compound called benzoyl peroxide. This strong substance dries out the skin as well as any pimples. It needs to be used carefully so as to not over-irritate the skin, and should be kept away from fabric as it will cause colors to fad.

Finding the cause of the breakouts would be very helpful, but no one really knows what actually causes pimples. There are a number of theories, but none have been proved beyond a doubt. Some body acne can be made worse by an irritant. Watch to see where you tend to break out and you may find that there is an external source for the pimples. Some fabrics can wreak havoc on the skin. Tight clothing can cause breakouts as well.

Another area to consider is the neck. The neck is special because the skin is more delicate than the skin on the back and the shoulders. Sometimes treating the skin too much can cause future breakouts. Even though acne on the neck may be considered body acne, it needs to be treated like acne on the face.
