A member asked:

Is sweating bad for skin that has mild acne? i feel very anxious which limits the things i want to do. i want to do sports and play in the sun.

No: Sweating is not bad for shin including with mild acne. Be sure to dry off when you can and enjoy being outside and know it will help your skin.
