If you have ever found yourself breaking out in an area other than your face, you may not know how to treat this type of acne. Many acne products are made exclusively for the facial area, so you will want to find something that is effective on other parts of the body. There are ways that you can cure body acne without an expensive visit to the doctor.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Shower following a workout. This is the simplest way to cure body acne. Breakouts on the body usually occur from excessive sweat. Rinsing off after exercise will prevent the acne from occurring.
Step 2

Wear loose and breathable fabrics. This will allow your skin to breathe and the perspiration will not build up under your clothes.
Step 3

Use a home remedy to treat body acne. Create a topical oil that includes the blending of 2 tsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. calendula oil, 1 tsp. almond oil, 2 drops of tea tree oil, and a drop each of chamomile and lavender oil. Apply to the affected areas on a daily basis.
Step 4

Take a daily supplement to get rid of body acne. Products such as AcnEase are designed specifically to cure body acne.
Step 5

Purchase an acne treatment spray. These formulas come in a spray bottle and are easy to apply in hard to reach areas, such as the back. Nature's Cure manufactures an acne spray that is effective and dermatologist approved.
