Truncal Acne
I get body acne/ Folliculitis every year with the onset of summer ... This has been happening for years.... some small some big size reddish, pus filled over the back, arms and also a few over the chest area.... I also have white skin colored small bumps coupled with the lesions .... When the weather becomes cool it calms itself and bulges up again
Earlier I wasn't paying much attention to bathing after sweating and changing the clothes as well I might be in the hormonal change phase ... However, now when I'm concerned about maintaining hygiene and I'm 28 years old , I'm still suddenly getting these over the same areas and it takes some days or even more to resolve itself... It's a recurrent flair up...
Those white bumps are very frustrating which I'm specifically concerned about.. Pls help me understand and fix this ??

Your symptoms suggest recurrent folliculitis and possibly keratosis pilaris or milia-like cysts causing those white bumps. Summer heat and sweating often trigger folliculitis, especially on the back, chest, and arms.
Maintaining hygiene helps, but persistent or recurrent cases usually need medical treatment including topical or oral antibiotics and keratolytic agents. Hormonal factors may also play a role.
An online consult will help me assess your skin closely and tailor a treatment plan to reduce flare-ups and improve those white bumps.
