Recently started getting back into shape and I have an acne problem.?!
Question: Recently started getting back into shape and I have an acne problem..?
I'll start by saying I'm 16, and YES I do realize that teenagers get a lot of acne, but this is a bit different...
for a few years now I've been letting my weight slip, I was 20 pounds overweight, out of shape and just lazy. I plan to join the Marines so I decided to get back into shape.
I Run, I lift, I do push ups, sit ups etc... Every day two times a day, I notice a major increase in my strength and stamina... I have also switched up my diet, instead of eating junk cereal or hot pockets for lunch I now eat fruits, vegetables and drink water (well I've always drank water, we never have soda and I'm not a fan of fruit juice)
--
NOW the problem is, I also see an increase in the amount of acne I have, not on my face, but on my CHEST and BACK... It's pretty out of control, I do wash every day both sides but nothing is working...
Is this normal.? Is it because of the working out.? the diet change.? or is it just a coincidence.?Health Question & Answer

Answers:
The best reason I can think of is because your testosterone levels are higher, due to your working out more...
Have you tried Pro Activ.? Or even try going to www.skinid.com
I knew a lot of people who used Pro Activ and it made a significant difference.
Don't fret it though. At least you're making a healthy change and bettering yourself.... It just stinks that you have to have bad side effects, but congrats and good luck!Health Question & Answer

It sounds to me like because of the exercise and cleaner eating, your body is detoxifying itself; the poisons and impurities are filtering out. Alot of this filtering out is through the skin. The acne is a byproduct of that. My guess is that if you persist in what you are doing, in a few weeks the acne should go away. I've had similar effects when I have kicked junk food.Health Question & Answer

The acne is a combination of age, food,sweat and dirt. You will need to get a bath soap that specializes in back acne. Go to your nearest drug store or big chain store (Walmart or Target). Try Clearasil or Neutrogena products. Good luck Health Question & Answer
