Acne from Helmet Usage
Hello, I have had a sudden breakout of acne in certain parts of my face like around the ear, ear lobes, forehead, temples and the back of the neck. Wearing a helmet is the only plausible variable, the timing of which coincides with the breakout.
Can you please advise on how to take care of the helmet? Is there any medical solution or spray that I can use regularly inside the helmet?
Thank you.

Helmet my be the exacerbating factor but there must be an underlying predisposition for developing acne. I don't think a single spray can help you treat these acne or prevent new ones. You can regularly clean helmet and wash your face with gentle cleanser, it might help a little.
I would advise you to get a consult and adequate treatment.
Next Steps
Clear photographs without filter. Proper consultation with the specialist
