Some acne has been known to pop up once in a while under the arms, buttock creases, under the chin, and anywhere else that natural body oil has settled for a long period of time.
Older adults may also have acne due to stress, a change in hormones, and for women some bad cosmetics can easily set off an acne breakout.
There are many over the product deep pore cleaning scrubs or cleansing pads you can use, however be warned, if you scrub too hard it can cause inflammation or excessively dry skin which can lead to the body over compensating with body oil and you will see another, bigger break out.
