Does working out give you bad acne?!


Question: Does working out give you bad acne.?
I've been working out daily for the past 3 months, at least 40 mins a day but sometimes as much as an hour and a half. I've had pretty bad acne in the past but not as bad as I do now.

What about working out gives you acne and what are some ways to clear it up.?Health Question & Answer
