Tropical acne is unusually severe acne occurring in the tropics during seasons when the weather is hot and humid.[1][2]: 500
Skin conditions including acne are seen with more frequency in dermatological consultations in hot and humid climates, where bacterial and fungal infections are more common, than in drier climates.[3]
