In the last month or so I started to break out on my sholder and my chest. Not low on my chest, but higher up, near my clavical. WTH? I eat a healthy diet and shower right after my runs.


Any thoughts on the cause or solution?

If a woman is complaining about those oh so pretty pimples popping up, I always say look at hormones first and foremost. Notice if there is a correlation during your menstrual cycle. Also make sure you are getting plenty of water and fluids, wear white and change your workout clothes every time. Shower after each sweat session and try a salicylic acid wash. If that doesn't help you know where to find me.

Thanks Lindsey.

It's not hormonal (unless my hormones have completely taken over). I'm doing all of the other things now except for wearing white. What's the significance?

Generally white is a more breathable fabric thus the sweat can wick off the skin and those pores don't get as clogged.
Good luck,
