Skin problem?

Question

This past summer I was working out alot like twice a day for an hour each and I noticed that my upper back and shoulders broke out in acne which is weird because I showered both times as soon as I was done. I have now stopped working out totally due to time problems and now it seems to be getting worse. And i never have had this problem before and its really embarrassing for me. I dont know I have tried everything all those body acne medicines but nothing seems to be working. any suggestions?

No. no steroids for me. The only pills I took on my weight loss adventure were
: vitamins, green tea, apple cider vinegar, carb blockers, stuff like that, and i never ate anything i havent ate before.
I do not do any drugs and do not drink alcohol, coffee, soda

by the way I am living in a remote area right now and there is no dermatologist here and I would have to travel far away and I can not because of my school. I would like to try something that someone else has tried and had good results and i know it may not work for me but it gives me hope :)

Lifestyle: Moderation and regularity are good things, but not everyone can sleep eight hours, eat three good meals, and drink eight glasses of water a day. You can, however, still control your acne even if your routine is frantic and unpredictable. Probably the most useful lifestyle change you can make is to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts, to get facials, and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer. People often refer to redness as “scarring,” but fortunately it usually isn’t, in the permanent sense. It's just a mark that takes months to fade if left entirely alone.

Mild cleansers: Washing once or twice a day with a mild cleansing bar or liquid (for example, Dove, Neutrogena, Basis, Purpose, and Cetaphil are all inexpensive and popular) will keep the skin clean and minimize sensitivity and irritation.
Exfoliating cleansers and masques: A variety of mild scrubs, exfoliants, and masques can be used. These products contain either fine granules or salicylic acid in a concentration that makes it a very mild peeling agent. These products remove the outer layer of the skin, and thus open pores.
Retinol: Not to be confused with the prescription medication, Retin-A, this derivative of Vitamin A can help promote skin peeling.
Antibacterial cleansers: The most popular ingredient in over-the-counter antibacterial cleansers is benzoyl peroxide.
Topical (external) applications: These products come in the form of gels, creams, and lotions, which are applied to the affected area. The active ingredients that kill surface bacteria include benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and resorcinol. Some brands promoted on the Internet and cable TV are more costly, but not really any better than ones you can buy in the drugstore.
Benzoyl peroxide causes red and scaly allergic skin in a small number of people, which goes away as soon as you stop using the product. Keep in mind that benzoyl peroxide is a bleach, so do not let products containing benzoyl peroxide get on your good colored clothes, shirts, or towels.

You cannot stop your oil glands from producing oil (unless you mess with your hormones or metabolism in ways you shouldn't.). Even isotretinoin (Accutane -- see below) only slows down oil glands for a while, they come back to life later. What you can do is to get rid of oil on the surface of the skin, and reduce the embarrassing shine.

Use a gentle astringent/toner to wipe away oil. (There are many brands available in pharmacies, as well as from manufacturers of cosmetic lines.)
Products containing glycolic acid or one of the other alpha-hydroxy acids are also mildly helpful in clearing the skin by causing the superficial layer of the skin to peel (exfoliate).
Masques containing sulfur and other ingredients draw out facial oil.
Antibacterial pads containing benzoyl peroxide have the additional benefit of helping you wipe away oil.

You've been giving her allergy medicine WITHOUT consulting a vet first? Yeah you really need to call the vet tomorrow. You can be damaging her immune system right now, especially if this is an autoimmune disorder. If her mother was known to have an autoimmune disorder she should have never been bred, because it's genetic, so this is most likely what your dog has. But a vet needs to do a skin scrape and tests since nothing is sure by her symptoms you described. And PLEASE in the future don't self medicate. This can really have done alot of damage. I've been there. My dog has an autoimmune disorder and I used prednisone and allergy medication and it just wrecked havoc on her immune system, making it even harder to control her disorder. I went to a holistic vet to get their advice besides my mainstream conventional vet. Working together with both of them I was able to heal my dog, not just suppress the symptoms with pills. It's always cheaper to treat a problem in the beginning before it gets worse.

I don't mean to be rude or presumptious, but are you taking steroids? That is a very common side effect of steroids. When I hear people are working out or doing sports and this happens, I always have to wonder. You don't have to answer me, I just wanted to answer your question. If you are not doing steroids, it could be a skin infection or fungus. Either way, just go to the doctor and they should be able to help you. No need to be embarrassed, just wear a shirt for now. At least it's not summer time. Good Luck!

When anyone has a life-debilitating skin problem, they should go see a Dermatologist!
but, I have heard of this problem before (I am not an expert though). My mom's skin would break out after running. She figured out that it was her sports bra causing it. Some of her shorts would cause her to break out too. The spandex like material on it would irritate her skin and cause a reaction. Now she has to be really picky on what material all of her clothing is. I would check and see if the material of your clothing was the problem.

This isnt a professional theory but maybe the toxins in your sweat must be so dense that they infect your pores and when your pores open up in the shower the toxins reenter the skin and that's NOT healthy. Ask a doctor or go to md.com Again, not a professional opinion
