Factors to Consider
-
1
Understand that breast acne can be the result of ingrown hairs as well a hormonal imbalances, dermatological problems and physiological issues. Primarily, breast acne is caused by the improper digestion of fat; too much sweat and exposure to pollution, grease and dirt; a liver or kidney that is not functioning properly; hormonal imbalances, which are prevalent during puberty; pregnancy and menstrual periods; heredity and poor personal hygiene.

2
Consider what medications you are taking and ask your physician if the medicine could be causing or contributing to your breast acne. Taking antibiotics can result in acne because the medicine destroys the good bacteria in your body, which prevents the body from eliminating toxins and wastes effectively.

3
Exfoliate your skin routinely. Use an exfoliating brush and use it gently, going over your chest. This opens up pores.

4
Wear clothing that is breathable. Avoid wearing sports bras, particularly the compression type, because this type of bra suppresses the breasts. Avoid wearing clothing that is tight on your chest. When clothing is too tight you are apt to sweat more. The more you sweat, the more likely you are to experience breast acne.

Consider using remedies, such as tea tree oil, on your breast acne. This natural product contains anti-fungal properties, antiseptics and is an anti-bacterial agent.
