A member asked:
Does taking hot showers increase acne and oily skin on face? is this known to worsen the issue? are lukewarm showers better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Hot showers are known to dry the skin and irritation. Dry skin leads to increased oil production to attempt to moisturize the skin. This process repeats itself daily and can lead to worsened acne. Give cooler showers a try, but keep in mind that it will take about 8 weeks to see most changes to your skin.
