chlorine and acne

[SufferTheJoy]

i just came to my daRAB for the summer and he has a pool and so ive only been here a day and ive been swimming alot in it and the acne on my face and shoulders is kind of fading away i am also on accutane so i dunno if this is helping me or if its just the medicine? does anyone know whether cholrine is good for your acne?

I had the same thing when I was a teenager. It seemed like the chemicals in the pool dried up my acne breakouts so I would say you are not imagining it.

I would say it's the accutane kicking in. Be careful in the sun while your on accutane, wear sunscreen. You can burn much easier.
