Acne Oral Contraceptive

What is causing my chest acne?


I am 20 and stopped taking an oral contraceptive (ortho triciclen lo) about 10 months ago. I was on it for about 5 years. I also took plan B about 2 weeks ago. I've also gone in hot tubs the past few months. In the past month I have been having acne break outs on my chest and shoulders. My face seems to be ok. I haven't had this in years. What could be causing this?

The main cause is the abnormally high concentration of endogenous hormones (especially androgens) in the blood, during puberty. These hormones cause the excessive production of sebum which clogs the skin pores and promotes the propagation of cutaneous anaerobic bacteria. This leads to skin inflammation and the formation of pimples.

Acne affects mainly the face especially the forehead, nose and chin (due to the fact that these areas have many sebaceous glands), but it may also appear in the back, shoulders and chest.

Acne is a very common skin condition that may affect people of every age and race. Even though it usually affects teenagers, adult acne is a real problem and some people continue to suffer from this condition until their thirties or forties.

Here is some way you can do it and easy.
Exercise is definitely important, but you also need to make sure that you shower after each workout. Why is this important? When you workout, the oils on the skin from all the sweat can end up trapping both bacteria and dirt. This can clog up your pores and cause breakouts to occur. So, take a quick shower to avoid this problem when you workout.

Simply making sure that you drink plenty of water can have a big impact on your skin. This helps your body to more effectively flush out the toxins. When the toxins are flushed away, you are less likely to deal with the acne problem.

you need to work on making sure that you eat a healthier diet. What you eat does have an impact on your skin health. Getting plenty of fruits and vegetables that are full of great nutrients for your skin can be very helpful to fighting off acne.

I did have a quality resource that explain what i am talking about in a lot more detail. I will posted the link to this resource below.

Good luck and i wish you all the best tigresse to battle you chest acne
