Will this help?

I am 21 years old and I did not start breaking out till I was 18. Now I break out time to time but am left with ugly scaring. If I exercise daily will this help my skin clear up?

Hi.
Acne occurs when androgens (hormones like testosterone) stimulate the sebaceous glands. Bacteria on the skin feeds off excess sebum (oil) blocking the pores and leading to spots.
The best way to treat acne is with a course of oral antibiotics such as Oxytetracycline or Doxycycline, and a topical retinoid such as Differin. Female acne patients will also benefit from taking an anti-androgen contraceptive pill such as Yasmin. Ask your doctor about these medicines.
Unfortunately, whilst it will improve your overall health, exercising will not heal acne since it cannot kill acne-causing bacteria nor reduce sebum levels.
