Body acne can be found on the chest area, back and shoulder area, and even on the rear end in many cases. There is no known cause for acne in general and body acne is even more confusing. Some believe that it is a possible sign of more severe blemishes that are painful to the touch or are unusually large. Most of us find body acne to be an annoyance rather than a 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.
Sufferers are not alone, many other people have this affliction, you just don't know it because they are covered up too. Also there are many companies that have dedicated product lines to help you clear up your acne, although there is no one product that will work in all cases.
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.
Until someone figures out the cause of acne, treating it may take a few tries to find the product that works best for you. Certain foods have been known to irritate the skin and cause breakouts, so you may want to adjust your diet and see if you have any results. Also make sure that you are always drinking enough water, as hydrating the skin is very important to keeping skin clear.
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.
