pimples on body treatment - #16975

Pari

I am really stressed about these pimples on my body that just won’t go away! Ugh, it's been happening for the past few months now. They started on my chest and back but now I see some on my arms too. I thought it was just from sweating a lot while working out, but I’ve even tried changing my detergent and switching to hypoallergenic soap. Still getting these stubborn pimples on my body. I went to my dermatologist last week, and they recommended some topical treatments, but honestly, they haven’t worked that great. Does anyone else deal with pimples on body treatment? I’m trying to figure out what else to do! Like, could it be hormonal or something? Or maybe it’s my diet? I cut out junk food because I really want to clear this up, but nothing seems to help. I've seen some folks say using salicylic acid works for them; has that helped anyone here? I’m honestly getting a little desperate, haha, and I just want to wear tank tops again without feeling self-conscious. Anyone can relate, or had success with specific pimples on body treatment? Just looking for some real advice, thanks!

When dealing with persistent body acne, it’s important to consider a multifaceted approach. Since your dermatologist has already recommended topical treatments without much success, we can look at a few other aspects that could be contributing. Firstly, considering hormonal imbalances might be a good avenue, especially if acne is a new issue for you. Speak with your primary care physician or an endocrinologist about possible hormonal tests, as fluctuations in hormones like androgen can increase oil production in the skin, leading to acne. There might be specific medications they can recommend if hormones are a concern. On the diet front, although you’ve already cut out junk food, it’s worth observing if dairy or foods high in sugar might be contributing. Some individuals find a link between these and acne flare-ups. You could try limiting these for a couple of weeks to see if there’s improvement. Regarding skincare, salicylic acid can indeed help to clear pores and reduce inflammation, so a body wash containing this ingredient might be beneficial if used regularly. Ensure to moisturize after, as drying out the skin too much can sometimes make things worse. If you sweat a lot with workouts, showering right after exercise can prevent the sweat from lingering and clogging pores. Wearing loose-fitting, breathable fabrics can also reduce friction and irritation on the skin. Lastly, keep an eye out for any potential triggers like new medications, stress, or cosmetics that may exacerbate acne. If these adjustments don’t lead to any improvement, you might need to explore oral medications with your dermatologist or even therapies like laser treatments as more intensive options.
