Question 1

can tomatoes cause pimples/acne?

Accepted Answer

No: Somebody is seeing faces in the clouds. The key is that acne is a non-lifestyle-related, chronic, incurable and serious disease that can be managed medically. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.

Acne scars: Acne responds to benzyl peroxide  and topical erythromycin. Severe acne requires Accutane .  Acne scars respond to microdermabrasion, chemical peals and or laser.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Masks good for skin: Tomato masks can help infuse vitamins and minerals into the skin.  However, there is little to no improvement seen in acne scars.

Question 4

Question 5

does tomatoes increase pimples?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: There have been many theories trying to link certain foods with skin blemishes.

Question 6

i applied tomato and lemon juice on face directly. and after that my skin became reddish and more reddish pimples came on it. how should i treat it?

Accepted Answer

Danger: First clean your face with a gentle soap and warm water. Second, never, ever do this again. Third, your body should heal on its own without using any more solutions or creams. Just let it be.  Never put acid on your face again. Tomatoes and lemons are acid.

Question 7

what could cause my acne?

Accepted Answer

Your changing body: I hope you welcome the changes that turn you from a child into an adult. The chemical chaos often produces an environment in which the oils and bacteria that cause acne flourish. Thankfully, all acne is manageable today, and it's wrong for anyone to deny you the cheap, effective treatments that are available.

Question 8

what food causes of acne?

Accepted Answer

Sugars: Too many carbohydrates change the chemistry in your body and can lead to acne. Another food problem is food allergy, and toxins in food (for instance bromine in proceeded foods can cause acne).

Question 9

what causes acne in women?

Accepted Answer

Excess testosterone: All women have male hormone, testosterone, in their bodies. An excess can cause acne. This is oftentreated with estrogen, commonly in oral contraceptives. In the bloodstream are compounds called sex hormone binding globulins. Estrogen increases these elements. When sex hormone binding globulin attaches to testosterone, the testosterone is inactivated, ergo less acne.

Question 10

adult acne what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Hormones.: Adult acne is often a sign of hormonal changes within the body. Medications can do it too. In general, it is more difficult to treat than simple teenage acne, so you'd best see your dermatologist, who will prescribe a treatment regimen, and if necessary, run some tests to rule out internal hormonal problems.
