Loads of guys that workout seem to have problems with ache, mainly on there shoulder and back or as I have affectionately dubbed Backne.
There are a few reasons for acne, it could be diet, hormones or oily skin.
I am going to go through each of these and try clear them up.
Diet.
I am lucky because I seem to be able to eat anything I like and not really have any ill effects, well apart from the dreaded ring sting the day after curry night!
Others are not so lucky, a high sugar/fat diet cause your body to make more sebum which can lead to acne breakouts, if you are keeping a food diary try and add when you have your breakouts so you can try and eliminate any foods that seem to be causing your acne.
Less high fat and sugar foods more lean meats and veggies please!
Hormones.
Anything from increased testosterone from supplements to stress can cause you have to breakouts.
While you are recording what you are eating also record stress levels and any supplements you may be taking and for ladies of course there is Aunt Flow visiting to consider as well!
Stopping supplements is easy peasy but finding the root of your stress and giving it the boot may be trickier but not as tricky as stopping your menstrual cycle!
Oily Skin.
If your skin is oily then you probably know acne's cruel touch all to well!
If your body produces too much sebum and oxidises then it blocks your pores and makes a black, which is nothing to do with how clean you are, that's why washing black heads doesn't get rid of them.
You could go and get some Benzoyl Perozide but this may make matters worse, getting antioxidants from your food is anther route you can take that will see you have improves in your entire body rather than just your skin, look out for zinc, vitamin A and vitamin E.
There are also White heads that can be inflamed and red, these are the ones that one can't help but pop!
Don't ever pop your spots, not only does increase the amount of of acne it can also lead to scarring.
To prevent getting whites make sure to exfoliate your skin, change your bedding regularly, get out of your sweaty gym clothes as soon as you can and get a shower! You might even notice your backne even appears in the shape of your gym vest.
While you are waiting for your acne to calm down you can try hemorrhoid cream which reduces inflammation, moisturises, contains vitamin E, reduces itching and restricts blood flow to the skin!
