body acne treatments

Body acne is very similar to facial acne but it appears on the body instead of the face, hence the term body acne.

There are a few body acne treatments which you can easily obtain but it may be worth finding out what may be causing it.

Skin irritation can cause body acne in some cases. Maybe clothing or something else. I know it would be difficult to avoid everything touching or rubbing on your skin surface but if there is a particular part of your body which is suffering from it, then as a body acne treatment, you should be careful of what is coming into contact with that area. If clothing is damp and/or sweaty, that will not help.

Clothing made from breathable cotton will help as a form of body acne treatment. If you do get sweaty, you will need to change often.

There are some highly effective body acne treatments. In mild cases, always allow the skin to completely dry before covering. Then apply 10% alpha hydroxy acid (speak to your doctor) before getting dressed.

In more severe cases, it is the same body acne treatment as above with regards to ‘always allow the skin to completely dry before covering’. Then you will need to apply 2.5% benzoyl peroxide before then applying 10% alpha hydroxy acid fpr your body acne treatment.

For an over the counter body acne treatment, ask for ‘Accutane’.
