Dirt and oil can get trapped under your workout clothes, leading to breakouts.
, told POPSUGAR. While hormones and genetics play a role, there are some steps you can take to get your workout-driven breakouts under control."Acne on the back is caused by the same factors that lead to breakouts on the face," Joshua Zeichner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, told POPSUGAR."Skin cells sit together and block the follicles, leading to an accumulation of oil and an overgrowth of acne-causing bacteria.
Unfortunately, a good sweat session can make that more likely."Sweat itself is not associated with acne," Dr. Zeichner explained."However, when you experience heavy sweating, you're usually exercising and wearing tight-fitting clothing against your skin. This may trap dirt and oil and promote inflammation, leading to acne breakouts."
To make matters worse, it can be difficult to care for your skin in those hard-to-reach places."The back is challenging to treat because it is a large surface area and may be difficult to reach by yourself," Dr. Katta said.How to Prevent Bacne While Working Out The good news is there are many ways to keep your skin clear. Here are several strategies, straight from the doctors:"Look for moisture-wicking performance fabrics," Dr. Zeichner said."The sweat and bacteria can act to clog pores and make you more prone to breakouts on the back," Dr. Katta said."Some of my patients also experience breakouts when they're wearing heavy backpacks, and sweating underneath, for long periods of time.
