Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

No.: Pimples generally refer to what is described as pustules. This is a superficial infection of the skin, unrelated to food allergy. Dermatologists debate whether diet can accentuate acne; more likely hormones, corticosteroids and local skin care would be responsible for an outbreak.
