It is not uncommon for some people to experience worsened acne after showering.
This could be due to the hot water and steam opening up pores and potentially causing irritation.
Using harsh soaps or scrubbing too vigorously can also exacerbate acne.
It may be helpful to try using lukewarm water, gentle cleansers, and avoiding harsh scrubbing to see if that helps improve your acne.
