Episode 19: Backne, Chestne & Buttne — The Truth About Body Acne

Episode 19: Backne, Chestne & Buttne — The Truth About Body Acne

Body acne might be common, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. In this episode, Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee tackle everything you need to know about breakouts beyond the face—from backne and chestne to the lesser-discussed "buttne." They break down why body acne happens, how it differs from facial acne, and the unique challenges of treating it on thicker skin.

You'll learn the real triggers (including gym habits, clothing choices, and even hormone therapy), why fungal acne is overdiagnosed online, and how to spot its telltale signs. Dustin and Austin share practical tips for prevention, discuss treatment options that actually work, and explain when it's time to see a dermatology provider. Plus, this week's "Did You Know?" proves the back is more than just a backdrop—it's an oil gland hotspot.

Whether you're a weekend gym-goer or just tired of stubborn body breakouts, this episode has the clarity—and the laughs—you need.
