Acne can occur on your face, chest, neck, back and shoulders, which are areas of your body with the largest number of functional oil glands, according to MayoClinic.com. Pimples are more common in teenage boys than adults but acne can occur in men of any age. Due to increased sweating, men are more likely to develop pimples on the chest, neck, shoulder and back. Shaving can also lead to pimples in men. Pimples are not a serious medical condition but you can take steps to prevent their formation.
Step 1
Wash your face twice a day using soap and water or a gentle, oil-free, water-based facial cleanser. Frequent face-washing can help remove oil and dead skin skills. Use a gentle body scrub in the shower to help prevent breakouts on the rest of your body. Exfoliate while in the shower. Use an exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin cells and promote the growth of healthy, new skin cells.
Step 2
Keep your hair clean. Whether you are a man with short hair or long hair, wash your hair daily. Dirt and oil from your hair can be transferred to your face, neck, back and shoulders, especially as you sweat. Try to keep your hair shorter in the summer months to prevent pimples from forming along your hairline.
Step 3
Exercise regularly. Regular exercise can help reduce stress and increase the flow of blood and oxygen to your skin. This can help prevent pimples.
