Breakouts on the back and chest are common and can be uncomfortable, especially in warm weather. A tailored plan can help calm active spots and improve the marks they leave behind.<\/p>\n
Body acne often has similar causes to facial acne, including excess oil and blocked pores. It can be aggravated by sweat and friction from tight clothing. Some conditions can look like acne but are different, so an assessment is important before starting treatment.<\/p>\n
The plan depends on the type and severity of the breakouts. It may include a suitable skincare routine, peels or deep-cleansing sessions, and treatments that help improve post-acne marks and pigmentation. Persistent or severe breakouts may need additional medical assessment. For facial breakouts, see our Acne Treatment<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your appointment includes an assessment of your skin and breakouts, along with factors such as lifestyle and the products you use. We then explain a suitable plan and what you can expect.<\/p>\n Improvement takes time and consistency, and results vary between individuals. Wearing breathable cotton clothing, showering after sweating, and avoiding picking at spots can help reduce irritation and marks.<\/p>\n If breakouts are very painful, cystic, accompanied by other symptoms, or not improving with care, a specialist medical review may be recommended.<\/p>\nWhat to Expect<\/h2>\n
