Question 1

is there any food that can help to prevent acne?

Accepted Answer

Low Glycemic Index: There is some evidence that foods with a high glycemic index (foods that cause one's blood sugar to spike quickly) have a harmful effect on promoting acne.  Therefore, choosing low glycemic index foods may be helpful in treating/preventing acne.  Also, using organic dairy products may also help as they do not contain the many hormones used to make cows produce more milk.

Question 2

what foods can cause acne breakouts and what could i do to prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Myth: Controlled tests show diet has little to do with acne. With today's rx's, even in a dysfunctional health care system, all acne should be manageable. If your problem is intermittent, a systemic antibiotic begun when a breakout seems imminent may be the cornerstone of effective treatment, perhaps with a topical agent. Good luck.

Question 3

the ways to prevent acne grow and the food should i eat and how to release stress

Accepted Answer

ACNE: There is no cure for acne, only control with rx like perzagel, Cleocin t, retin a (tretinoin) or oral antibiotics for comedones. Stress is there every day of our lives. It is on how to handle it. You need to be calm, prayerful and confident that you can deal with it. Avoid too much stimulants like coffee to have presence of mind. It is not a life and death situation. Most important of all is trust in god!

Question 4

got prescribed accutane for acne how dangerous is this for my body? also i have plantar fasciitis. will this prevent healing? should i avoid this drug

Accepted Answer

Accutane dangers: Accutane is a very potent teratogen. It can cause very serious birth defects. You must use at least 2 excellent forms of birth control when taking it and since it is stored in your body fat probably for a year after you have stopped taking it. It is usually prescribed only for severe cystic acne only. Do NOT take it for mild acne. Has nothing to do with plantar fasciitis.

Question 5

how do i prevent acne?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts: Acne is genetic and more prone to occur during hormone changes.  That is unavoidable.  You should start using some essential skincare products and devices such as the clarisonic pro, face washes and toners with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and maybe some chemical peels to help unplug pores.  Recommend diet high in healthy fats and proteins, organic, avoid all sugars except frui.

Question 6

easiest way to remove and prevent acne?

Accepted Answer

Not an easy answer: Maybe "choose your parents wisely?" also take dairy out of diet.

Question 7

how can you prevent acne after its gone?

Accepted Answer

Chronic disease: Often a low dose of maintenance tetracycline by mouth is enough to manage it without the inconvenience of applying topical agents daily. Your physician is your guide here.

Question 8

can a good diet really help prevent acne?

Accepted Answer

No: I was surprised too, but the controlled studies all seem to agree over the past decades. All acne's treatable nowadays by scientific methods.

Question 9

how can you prevent acne without medicine?

Accepted Answer

Cannot: You cannot prevent it without medication.

Question 10

how can you remove and prevent acne problem?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Benzoyl peroxide for starters. If not sufficient, topical Clindamycin and/or a topical retinoic acid derivative the latter especially if there are a lot of blackheads. Next step for a lady is the oral contraceptive pill if it is right for her. Then a systemic antibiotic right for the person. The big guns is accutae, not pleasant cheap or without risks but hugely effective and very much worth it.
