Will shaving the chest reduce acne?
Patients can make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing chest acne, but shaving the chest will not help to reduce acne. In fact, waxing or using a razor to shave the chest can irritate the skin, increasing the likelihood of developing chest acne. To trim the hair on the chest, Dr. Green recommends using an electric clipper to reduce the risk of skin irritation, pimples, and acne cysts.
How to cover chest acne
If you are suffering from chest acne, there are many treatment solutions to eliminate the outbreak. In the meantime, many patients want to cover up the outbreak. If you would like to cover the chest acne outbreak with clothing while it subsides, avoid tight-fitting clothing. Instead, it is best to opt for loose-fitting, cotton clothing that will not trap sweat and acne-causing bacteria. Tight-fitting clothing can worsen chest acne breakouts and may contribute to breakouts in other areas of the body, too.
How to get rid of chest acne overnight
Unfortunately, there are not any acne treatment options that will eliminate chest acne overnight. However, there are a wide variety of acne treatments that will help to eliminate acne breakouts fairly quickly, including topical acne spot treatments, specially formulated skincare products, oral medications, and lifestyle changes that can help to prevent future outbreaks of chest acne and body acne.
Why do I have chest acne in my 30s? Why is my chest acne coming back?
Most people think that acne breakouts are a part of being an awkward teenager and don’t realize that acne, in fact, is a skin condition that is a common part of adulthood for many–in fact, in a recent study, 85% of females and 15% of males struggled with adult acne. A combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors can trigger adult acne. Though it’s frustrating, adult acne anywhere on the body can be successfully treated through topical treatments, a steady skincare routine, oral medications, in-office treatments, or a combination of any of the above. If you have suffered through trial and error with over-the-counter skincare products to no avail, schedule a consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green in New York City. Dr. Green will recommend the right combination of treatment options for clearing your acne once and for all.
Is chest acne hormonal? Which hormones cause chest acne?
There are many potential risk factors for developing chest acne, one of which is fluctuations in the androgen hormones. Androgens cause enlargement and hyperactivity of sebum glands in the skin, leading to increased sebum production that can clog pores and cause pimples. For this reason, individuals who are experiencing puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, as well as those who are taking certain medications, have an underlying medical condition or are in various stages of the menstrual cycle, may be more susceptible to developing hormonal chest acne breakouts. A board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Michele Green in NYC, can order certain blood tests to be performed that can help determine if any systemic hormonal imbalances may be contributing to the presence of your chest acne breakouts and recommend the appropriate acne treatments as necessary.
Hormonal acne breakouts can consist of any type of acne lesion, from blackheads and whiteheads to painful cysts, that often present along the jawline and lower face and may tend to occur in a cyclical pattern. A number of underlying factors may trigger hormonal acne breakouts but are typically caused by fluctuations in various androgen hormones. Certain androgens can stimulate the oil glands in the skin to produce excess oil, causing pores to become clogged and leading to acne breakouts. Chest acne can be exacerbated by certain lifestyle and hygiene habits such as wearing tight-fitting clothing, failing to shower after exercise, and more.
