Is eating food from fast food such as macdonalds, kfc , etc. cause pimples ?

No: There have actually been some scientific controlled studies and there have discredited this widespread idea. Acne follows the skin getting greasier (more sebum) at puberty & this is how the idea got started; there's also a tendency to blame things that people like (fast food) when bad things happen. Think about healthier eating choices to stay fit & trim.. All acne is manageable today; ask ur dr.

Acne and food: Acne is usually caused from increased oil or sebum production under hormonal influences. Greasy foods are not typically linked to acne flares. A well balanced diet with exercise is always a good idea. See a dermatologist for acne treatment.
