A member asked:
I poop once every 3 day or so. could that be the cause of my severe acne? and by the way im 17 years old.

Not good but no: The pattern is not good for your general health but it has nothing to do with acne.It likely evolved over time.It represents poor intestinal motility and stool retention.You should empty every day you eat.
