A member asked:
When you are sunburned, why do you get sweat bumps when you sweat? (vs sweating as normal)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sweat Bumps: Sweat does release toxins from the body through the sebaceous glands, which if you did not know, are the same glands that has been linked to acne. In healthy skin, your natural oils are released through these glands into the pores on your face via hair follicles. When those pores get clogged, with dead skin cells or dirt and grime, the sebaceous glands still keep producing causing bumps on skin.
