A member asked:

Why do i get acne breakouts when i go to a different country?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many possibilities.: Travel can be stressful, and stress will often exacerbate acne. Rapid climate change can do it too, as can foreign strains of p. Acnes, the bacterial species that plays an important role in acne pathogenesis. Your dermatologist can set you up with a treatment regimen that will prevent these flares most of the time.
