Body Acne – an Introduction

Whenever someone talks about acne or we hear something about acne what comes in our mind? The answer is facial acne as it the most common amongst the different types of acne. However, acne can breakout in different parts of the body like shoulders, neck, back and upper arms. Body acne is difficult to treat as compared to face acne because the body has to be covered by clothing most of the time.

The causes of body acne are more or less the same as facial acne. Acne is caused due to clogging of pores due to excessive oil secretion. Body acne is not caused due to hygiene reasons rather it is caused due to hormones known as androgens which stimulates sebaceous glands to produce excessive oils resulting in acne.

Body acne can grow to a very severe level where cysts appear on the skin sometimes causing blemishes and scars. As soon as body acne appears you should consult a dermatologist and start treatment immediately as body acne can cause discomfort to the patient. Body acne should not be scrubbed or picked as it can further spread and worsen acne. The body area with acne should be cleaned very gently and it should not be rubbed. Apply acne medicine very gently on the affected area.

If your dermatologist has advised you to use a tropical lotion, you should first clean the affected area very gently and then apply the lotion. Try to wear cotton clothing or very soft textured clothes in order to avoid any friction as it can cause inflammation. The friction caused by rubbing of cloth against the skin can increase the acne and its severity thus increasing the total treatment time. Backpacks, purse straps, sporting clothes and other similar items can aggravate the acne. If you are suffering from body acne, it is better for you to wear looser clothes to avoid friction.

It is a bit difficult to treat body acne as compared to facial acne due to the fact that it is impossible to keep the affected area untouched as we have to wear some cloths most of the time. Acne treatment normally takes a few weeks to show some results. Sometimes the skin gets worse for a while before showing any results. But you should not panic in this situation and continue your skin treatment even if the skin does not show some improvement because acne treatment is a long process.

If you are suffering from body acne than you should start your treatment immediately and try to get complete acne information so you can easily cope with the situation.
