A member asked:
I poop once every 3 days. is that normal? and could that have an indirect impact on the cause of my severe acne? by the way i'm 17 years old

Nl=no,acne=no: You should train your body to poop every day you eat, as the retention will eventually cause you health problems. It has no effect on the status of your acne.

See dermatologist: Having poop every 3 days is not normal , you should poop once a day . Change in your diet like eating more vegetable ,fruits and drinking enough fluids will normalize your poop pattern.It does not have any impact on your acne .consult a dermatologist for your acne.
