One study has shown that women who drank two or more glasses of skim milk a day had a 44% likelihood of having acne compared to the women who did not drink skim milk at all.
Another study’s results show that teenagers and young men (15-25 years of age) who underwent a low-glycemic diet had a decrease in inflammatory acne lesions.
How Is Chest Acne Treated?
If you have chest acne, it is best to consult a dermatologist for a treatment. Chest acne treatment may include the following:
- Using gentle scrubs is a common chest acne treatment, and it is also one of the easiest to incorporate into your lifestyle. Simply choose gentle exfoliating loofahs and avoid purchasing hard and abrasive shower accessories. Gentle scrubs prevent your chest and other body parts from becoming irritated from rough scrubbing.
- Use non-comedogenic creams to prevent clogging pores. Remember, clogged pores lead to acne.
- Another chest acne treatment would be using OTC body washes that have salicylic acid as an active ingredient. You may also opt for body washes with benzoyl peroxide. This is also an effective ingredient in treating mild inflammatory acne.
