    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Tropical acne is a significant concern for military personnel in hot, humid climates.
    • Previous reports of tropical acne have not originated from the United States.

    Observation:

    • A case of tropical acne was documented in an occupational environment.
    • The workplace conditions mimicked a tropical climate.

    Findings:

    • This case suggests tropical acne can occur in non-military settings.
    • The findings indicate heat and humidity may be contributing factors to inflammatory acne.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for heat and humidity to exacerbate acne in susceptible individuals.
    • Suggests a need for further research into environmental factors influencing acne development.
    • Informs occupational health strategies in similar climates.
