Alright.....I for some strange reason have come across a bad case of acne at this point in my life and I'm friggin 19yrs. old. I used to prefer working out with my shirt off for the same reasons anyone does....mostly to show off. I am 5'9, I weigh 175 and have right at 9% BF, so I am very comfortable with doing so. I have recently gotten back into lifting hardcore again and I want to work out with my shirt off, but I keep breaking out on my back and shoulders really bad. My face is fine maybe one pimple a month or something, but every once in a while I will break out on my chest too. I am not on roids or anything and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. I drink a gallon of water a day, so I thought I would help cleanse my system, but I guess not. I also did hear that milk is bad for your skin, but I really dunno though.....if any of you fellas have any advice on what I might be able to do I would appreciate it because its really starting to annoy me. Thanks in advance.

bro i have the same exact problem and i had it for about a year... my middle back is really bad filled with little ones and some big ones that hurt when you touch it... but in the summer i was in the beach in israel... and also in the dead sea.. and when i was in israel i had gotten a tan and i have noticed all the acne i had on my chest disappered and on my face.. aslo on the back... so maybe if u stay out in the sun it can help you .. im not sure .. you can also try to get dead sea soap they sell it somewhere...

dont take accutane its to hardcore its for quite severe acne that has a risk of scarring. also dairy products can cause acne due to the hormone from the cows! n as for gettin a tan it doesnt necessarily get rid of acne it just hides it due to change in colour of ur skin. so if ur guna get a tan stay tanned all year! n have a shower strate afta ur workout.

****.
I never had terrible acnce, just a few annoying zits on my face but usually went away with benzol peroxide and my skin was clear most of the time.
....then i started having a sh!t load of milk, and man oh man.. now im gettin it pretty bad on face, a little on arms, and crap load all over my legs (wtf on my legs?)
i thought it was the creatine. why the **** does milk have to cause acne. it simply isnt fair.
