"I work out during the day and sometimes don't have time to shower. Does sweat cause acne around the chest and back area?"
Sweat can cause a condition called "poral occlusions," which are red bumps caused by a combination of oil and sweat mixed together, clogging your pores. The best way to treat this area is to shower with a gentle exfoliating wash after you work out. If you don't have time to shower, at a minimum, wipe the excess perspiration from the skin with a moist towel, then blot the skin dry. Look for a spray that contains acne-fighting ingredients that you can apply before getting dressed.
