What is Truncal / Body Acne?

Truncal or Body Acne refers to acne breakouts that occur on the chest, back, shoulders, or other parts of the body. It can manifest as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic lesions, causing discomfort, irritation, and sometimes scarring.

Causes of Truncal / Body Acne

  • Excess Sebum Production – Leads to clogged pores and pimples.

  • Hormonal Fluctuations – Common during puberty, stress, or menstrual cycles.

  • Sweating & Friction – Tight clothing or sports activities can aggravate acne.

  • Bacterial Infection – Propionibacterium acnes contributes to inflammation.

  • Genetic Predisposition – Family history of acne increases risk.

  • Poor Hygiene – Infrequent showering or use of comedogenic products.

  • Diet & Lifestyle Factors – High sugar, dairy, or processed foods may trigger breakouts.
