Okay, so I'm 15 years old and and a girl. I'm very active and exercise daily whether it be running or swimming or whatever. The only problem is I get pimples in between my boobs, and frankly, that's gross. Is there anything i can do to prevent this? I'm a 34C if that is any help though i don't think it is. Any help is appreciated.
P.S. My mom said I should use baby powder to prevent it. How true is this statement?
Make sure that you wash daily and use an anti-perspirant deodrant and ensure that you shower and change your clothes after physical activity. Baby powder may help slightly as it will help keep the area dry. You can also try using regular acne products.
If the problem persists then you might want to visit your doctor to see if he/she can help. They may be able to prescribe you with some acne treatment or even refer you to a dermatologist. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
cate9brown answered Sunday June 22 2008, 5:47 pm: the best way to prevent pimples from forming on or around your breast is to change your sports bra immediately after working out, and shower. buy a body wash, like neutrogena, that helps control and prevent body acne.
baby powder might help keep you a little dryer, fresher longer; if you're hanging around in your workout clothes after you've finished exercising, you're allowing all that dirt, sweat, and bacteria to cling right next to your skin.
hope this helps. [ cate9brown's advice column | Ask cate9brown A Question ]
