Can Sweating Reactivate my Oil Glands and Make Acne Come Back After Accutane?

July 10, 2012
Asked By:accutaneuser

I ended my accutane a month and a half ago and want to start exercising because i've been pretty sedentary for the last months (during treatment). Of course i'll shower right after any exercise, but i wanted to know if exercising is risky because it reactivates oil glands and stuff. So it'd be counterproductive, wouldn't it? if accutane has "stopped" my oil glands and i'm "starting them up" again. Is there a risk of acne relapsing due to exercise (sweating,...),...? thanks in advance
