Acne on the front of the chest and back is most commonly caused by endocrine imbalance. It may also result from engaging in intense physical exercise without showering promptly afterward. Prolonged use of glucocorticoid medications can likewise trigger acne in these areas. Under a physician’s guidance, topical retinoid medications may be applied for treatment. Additionally, red and blue light therapy can be used to improve symptoms and help alleviate the condition.
