In this video, Dr Ishad Aggarwal, a leading dermatologist from Kolkata, sheds light on an often-overlooked skin concern - chest acne. While most of us focus on keeping our face clear with the right cleansers, creams, and skincare routines, acne doesn't always stick to the face. It can appear on the chest, back, or shoulders, often catching people off guard.
Chest acne is more common than many realize and can be both uncomfortable and confidence-affecting. Dr. Aggarwal explains why these breakouts occur, what factors trigger them — from sweat and friction to hormonal changes — and how to effectively manage and prevent them.
He answers the following questions:
- Why does acne happen?
- Managing chest acne safely
- Retinoids on the chest — are they safe?
- Preventing dark spots and scars
