Unlikely: Acne in adolescence is believed to form from increased testosterone levels causing more sebum (oil skin) production. This increases the amount of certain bacteria that live on your skin and can cause inflammation. The inflammation can cause increased skin cells to form. All these things result in a blockage and the formation of a pimple. Food should not effect these events.
