Exercise induced butt acne

Skin Concern

This is so annoying and embarrassing, but I have KP and have awful skin irritation which looks like (or is) acne on my cheeks 🍑. I work out hard 3x a week spin class and more which is the cause, if I don’t work out there are no flare ups. I wear clean clothes, change out of my workout clothes and shower after each workout but the fabric and sweat has already done the damage.

I do have KP scrub and amlactin but don’t use it religiously should I use it every shower? What about salicylic acid in the shower? Or maybe acne stickers to spot correct? This is super inconvenient during the summer.
