Acne: Sorry you are having skin issues that bother you. Stay hydrated, wear clean clothes and change after workout. Try hypoallergenic cleanser. Topical treatments work great for dermatological issues. You can try some benzoylperoxide or step up to a topical like dapsone which my patients feel really works quickly. Also see MD for lab tests full history. Face/menstrual issues? See Derm for oral therapy
