Fabric, Clothing and Acne   (created at May 03, 2009)   300  

You might think it strange that fabric or clothing could cause acne - but this about it in this way. Say you have a helmet that you wear for 12 hours straight on a bike trip, and that there's a chin strap on it. Say that chin strap covers up 10 pores on yo...

To understand acne and pimples   (created at May 03, 2009)   1,834
