I have body acne everywhere (shoulders, back, some on arms, chest). I dont know which positions to sleep in so that the acne wont become irritated.

 

Can sleeping positions affect body acne?

Personally, I believe sleeping position can definitely affect acne, especially if it is the folliculitis or Grover's varieties like I have. Both of those are known to be exasperated by rubbing. I sleep on my back to avoid having my face touching anything. I have pretty continuous issues with breakouts on my back and back-of-head. Really sucks. Wish I had a solution.

i would guess it's largely unrelated if you're refering to body acne and not facial acne. I've had bacne for years and I've tried altering my sleeping position (from back to sides etc) to no avail.
