Acne: Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.These factors can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne, hormones, medications, and a diet with a lot of dairy and carbohydrate-rich foods.You can also prevent new acne breakouts with self-care measures by washing your skin with a gentle cleanser and avoiding touching or picking acne.

Question 6

is rice and/or whole wheat bad for acne?

Accepted Answer

No: Both r good foods.Life in general and having acne in particular are hard enough without people making up this kind of thing -- it's human nature to imagine that dietary restriction is a way of treating most disease. It's not. If your present rx isn't handling your acne adequately, your physician may add topical Clindamycin or a systemic antibiotic such as tetracycline 500 2x/day. Eat what you want.

Accepted Answer

Try limiting : More than five servings of dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc.) may increase acne breakouts in some women. Try to control your dairy intake for a few weeks and see if the acne improves.

Question 10

can a milk allergy cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: Depending on how old someone is, a true milk allergy can cause eczema-like rash, bloody diarrhea, hives, vomiting, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, cough, wheeze, abdominal pain, lip swelling, etc. Acne in young infants is due to leftover maternal hormones, and acne in preteens, teen, and young adults is due to puberty related changes in hormone levels and skin. Your doctor can see what's needed.
