Ever since I started...?!


Question: Ever since I started...?
Ever since I started gymnastics again (a year and a half ago) I started breaking out on my face and back, why? I shower every time I get out of practice. So why hasn't it gone away?? And I'm not gonna quit, I'm training level 10 :)

You're 15, breakouts are just a part of life for a lot of people your age. I would just suggest the common sense stuff, like taking a shower before and after you go the gym. Maybe try a different soap, when you're sweating a lot keep a towel handy to wipe the sweat off you so that it doesn't dry on your skin.



wow level 10!? congratulations! It could be your age that makes you vulnerable to break outs, which sucks because you just have to wait it out. If you wait to shower until you get home, that time is enough for a break out. I think you should go to a dermatologist. You should definitely go if they hurt. However, I recently went to the dermatologist and since my acne wasn't going away, he tested it for staph... which you kinda have a ridiculously high risk of getting, so it might be that. If you are doing everything you can, and it's not helping, go to the dermatologist. It sounds shallow and stupid, but you will be so much happier with clear skin. You also want to get rid of it because acne can leave scars for the rest of your life.



Your age is?
