13 Things That Cause Acne ...

In order to fully understand how to find the right acne treatment, one will need to understand what the causes of acne are. I have came up with a list of things that cause acne to form. Below, I am going to give you 13 things that cause acne. If you have acne, then this blog may be worth your time…

13. Chocolate and Junk Food

First of all, one of the things that cause acne is chocolate and junk foods. Greasy foods also cause acne. I believe this is true, because every time my friend ate chocolate, her face broke out the next day. For some, this may not happen, but there are still others out there that have shown just how true this is.

    I have had acne since i was about 17 or so, but i’d only get one or 2 bumps at a time. now i’m 23, and last month when i started my period i got ... See more 2 or 3, and then by the time i was off my period my entire face was covered with them. So i went to my PCP and got put on differin, and it says clearly that it has to be used for a long period of time, and for 4-6 weeks that it will make the acne worse. well believe me, it makes it worse. but after about a week, i noticed that it was causing my lower cheeks and chin sting and itch. it also says that that is a side effect, but if it was severe to stop using and contact your doctor. So i stopped using it and of course it was the weekend so i couldn’t get in for a checkup for 2 more days ): I noticed that the burning and itching feeling was only getting worse(even though I stopped using it). I called on Monday and got an appointment on tuesday morning.
    I was then given Minocycline capsules and was told to take them 2x a day for a week and try to knock it out my pill instead of applying the differin gel to my face so that it would not irritate it more.

    I was also given Hydrocortison cream to apply to the area that still itches and burns to use for a week to 10 days. it’s now thursday, and the burning is going and coming. but i’m not sure if it’s just time or if it’s actually helping the irritation. Mainly my lips are super chapped, and I dont know what I can do to help them from hurting. (Although i never put the differin or anything else near my lips, it seems as if they may be getting a little bit of the cream or gel on them causing them to be chapped). If anyone know what I can do to fix that let me know.

    and i’ll keep you updated as to if the Monocycline seems to work or not after I have taken it for a week.

    Hi. I just stumbled upon your site today. Gotta say I love it!

    I’m 27 and have had acne since I was a teen. It’s only recently that it’s cleared a bit but I ... See more think it has more to do with a healthy lifesyle (veggies and exercise).

    My acne trigger is anything nuts. Almonds, cashew, peanuts – if I eat even one of them, I will be sure to spot a new pimple the next day on my face.

    Others might have this reaction from nuts too.

    I’m trying to join the site but so far no success. But this is a great place, keep it up!!

    Your friend may be allergic to chocolates that’s why she gets pimples. I am lucky to be eating lots of chocolates without worrying about acne! :)

    Bethany,
    Eating greasy foods and sweets really do cause achne. It’s the most common problem actually. You hear guys talking about it, it’s enough reference. My friend when she eats choclate, pimples start to come out, so that’s it!

    I know you probably do sincerely believe that chocolate/sweets/greasy foods cause acne, but without evidence (or at least references) you can’t really make those claims. Saying something is true because you believe it to be ... See more true doesn’t count.

    I’m not trying to be rude or mean, but I’m trying to point out that, without evidence, your claim that DIET causes acne carries about as much weight as a claim that GARDEN GNOMES cause acne :/

    Some of these do make sense (hormones, genes) but again, you need supply references or something.

    Just trying to help!

      Hey Bethany,
      You make a good point about references yes. But c’mon a reference to prove what you eat (or don’t eat) directly affects your skin? I mean isn’t that the first thing we all learn about acne?

    Hormonal Changes can causes Achne. It’s the most heard problem of teenagers. I beilieve like you Mel, not to pick on achne. The more you pick the more they come out :S
    And alot of ... See more stress can effect your hormones to changed so achne comes out. For me sea water and birth controles are what helps those pimples that some times comes out!

    Melanie, I agree that genes are a big contributing factor to acne.
    Some people care so much about their skin and still end up with acne, and other do not do enough and have the ... See more nicest skin.

    I know, it’s not fair, but who said life was fair…..??

      Suburbangrandma,
      Life IS unfair. My dad’s always had flawless skin and my mum’s the opposite. So guess who’s skin type I ended up with? My mom ofcourse! I’m 23 (almost 24 now) and I still have breakouts. Ugh!
