Acne From Travelling To Tropical Countries: Will My Acne Get Worse

Hi everyone

 

I live in California, where the weather is mild and generally dry. A couple years ago, I had intensely bad acne but it has since subsided but is still there. On the average day, I have a couple small cysts and little to no whiteheads on my back chest and face. When I eat junk food, I suddenly get 4-5 cysts and dozens of whiteheads, but still not too severe. I will be travelling to South India in two days, and the weather there has been hotter and more humid than anything in California (midday temperatures above 105 F for 10 days in a row sort of thing). Will my acne get a lot worse, or does weather not play as big of a role in causing acne as other things? What have you guys experienced?

Hey,

 

we have have probably the same acne ( though mine is probably worse than yours but I experience almost the same outbreaks like you)

 

I have been traveling around australia for 5 months now and my acne got a lot better because of the sun and the saltwater.

 

I had the same concerns like you that it might get worse etc and my dermatoligist told me that my acne will get worse ( due to sweating humidity dryness after saltwater) but it did not

 

So last but not least I think that you will be fine in India if you hold up the hygienic standards

 

Good luck for your trip
