Why acne is where it is.

[wayneboard1]

We all know acne is a common side effect of using gear. What I don't know is why the acne presents itself in the typical areas it does such as back, shoulders, etc. Does anyone know why these locations seem to be where most acne (at least mine) appears and not on the face or elsewhere at all or as much?

K for helpful replies.

Androgen receptors maybe? I think the upper chest and delts have more receptors.

One of the reasons is because you sweat more in those places. Which in turn releases more oil from your skin. Which can clog pores etc... Watch next time your working out. When I train sweat rolls off my face, shoulders, chest and lower back. Have you had your forearms breakout? lol

You get acne on the places where most sebaceous glands are.
Those are chest, back, face, neck.

The overproduction in those glands causes them to clog, there is more secretion of keratine and an increase in the amount of bacteria on location there. The site gets inflamed. That is what causes the acne.

If you got zits there, it might be something else

Yes exactly! You forgot to mention one other spot that is rich in sebaceous glands.... the butt.

besides your face which has alot of pores to release toxin, it seems like acne comes in places that your clothes rub against alot. You notice it rubs hair off outside of arms, and on large shoulders and back it does the same thing. Also i get acne on my shoulder blades where they rub against bench when doing presses. Just a thought.

 

[bicepts101]

it has something to do with with dht....it seems to attach itself better where dht is mostly present....like in the scalp.. zits on the scalp is common also....there of hair growth on your shoulders and hair loss on your head..these areas are very vulnerable to zits also....there is a more specific definition for what i said i cantr remember it though

Your shirts also rub those areas more which could add to the problem when your sweating. I'll sometimes get some on the traps from squats.
