Several steps: It is important to wear clothing that breathes well, such as cotton. Washing your body every day with soap and water removes oils and bacteria that can cause acne. This is especially important after exercising. Dairy products, caffeine, and chocolate can all increase oil production. There are several acne medications that decrease oils and bacteria on the skin, so I suggest a visit to a derm MD.

Simple washing helps: Bathing or washing the affected areas with soap and water whenever you get too sweaty or oily during the day can prevent clogging of your pores that can lead to break outs.
