Acne is a problem of sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, which is totally different than sweat. Sebum is more lipids (Fats) and is in no way connected with sweat glands. This sebum gets blocked in sebaceous glands and causes acne. Trying to sweat more will not help clear the sebaceous glands.
When the sebaceous glands produce more sebum, you are likely to get acne. At the same time the sebaceous gland gets blocked and the sebum gets trapped inside the gland forming acne. You have to treat these sebaceous glands and not sweat glands.

Acne is a teen and young adult skin condition caused by overactive sebaceous skin glands,and blocked skin pores. It tends be relative to teens and young adults due to the relation of hormones,skin oils,and bacteria that live on the skin. Washing affected areas have little effect,except to the appearance of the oily skin.Using antibacterial soaps haven't proven to be better.The important thing is keep irritating and abrasive scrubbing to a minimum.The common ingredient in "acne creams 10% benzoyl peroxide.Cheap or expensive they are the same.Only a Dermatologist can prescribe stronger and better medications to help your problem.Eat healthy avoid greasy food drink lots of water. Be gentle with your skin.Sorry I don't agree with your hypothesis,good luck. SW RNP

Acne is mainly caused by oily skin brought on by hormones in teenagers. Yes, sweating causes oily skin and clogs up the pores, thus causing acne.

Sweat doesn't cause pimples, but it does clog pores. So when you sweat you should wash your face.
