Sweat: Sweating opens up and helps clean out blocked pores. Blocked pores can trap skin bacteria causing the acne infection. Find another way to induce sweating. Exercise?

Try a steam shower: What may work is trying to create your own steam shower. Turn your shower on the hottest and fullest. Don't get in! this should steam up your bathroom enough to get the same results you get from a sauna.
