A member asked:
I have some back/chest acne. was wondering if long, hot showers contribute to it. thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: Yes. Increasing exposure of existing acne to heat and humidity will increase irritation and inflammation of the acne lesions. The hot water will not cause acne but it can aggravate it.
