A member asked:
Recently, i had an acne breakout following my intake of creatine and whey protein. my dermatologist advised that it was due to a hormonal imbalance?

Acne: Acne can be caused by a hormonal imbalance of testosterone. It is also due to a plugged pore and bacteria. I am unsure why it happened with the protein intake. Hope this helps.
