People who suffer from body acne have breakouts primarily on their neck, back and shoulders, although breakouts can occur in many other places as well. Acne can be embarrassing, uncomfortable or downright painful depending on the type, and those who suffer from body acne usually have it for most of their lives.
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.
The cause of acne is still unknown, although there are many theories related to hormones, diets and stress. Since no one really knows what causes acne there is no definitive cure, but if you keep trying eventually you will find a product that works for you. If you have severe acne you can consult your doctor to see if there are any prescription medications that can help you.
No matter what product you are using, treat your face and neck separate from the rest of your body, as the face and neck are much more sensitive and will react badly to harsh treatments. Try to find a gentle cleanser that contains only a small percentage of benzoyl peroxide. If it doesn't start to clear up the acne, then try something a bit stronger. - 15634
