When ever I start to play athletics my face starts to get pimples all over. But when the season ends, it clears up. Is there anything I can do to keep my skin clear during the sports seasons?

The quick answer is that you want to make sure you try to keep your face rinsed off as soon as you get done playing/working out. The follow-up answer is to start with over-the-counter acne remidies, but there are really many more prescription treatments that might help your seasonal problem. Your best bet is a dermatologist to aim you toward an effective regimen after seeing your face/chest/back. Hope this helps. Eliot --
