Could taking hot baths all the time be the reason for my body acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Taking hot baths is not good for your skin and if you are burning your skin this physiological stress can trigger acne. Sunburns do this as well. Multiple hot baths can also dry your skin and can make your skin fragile and more susceptable to acne. Use oil free moisturizers and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you are taking these hot baths to relieve stres this may be causing acne.
