Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?

I heard on House that 30% of waste is excreted from your skin.





So does eating bad with greasy food give you acne?Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?
Myth: Diet and acne are related





Reality: The bottom line is we need more research. We do know that people in some indigenous societies do not experience acne whatsoever across the entire population. This is in stark contrast to the widespread presence of acne throughout all modern society. It leaves us to ponder the question of whether the indigenous people's diet contributes to their acne-free skin.Does eating bad have an impact on your acne?
nope...acne is abt hormones only.....nothing to do with foods








Sweating:


Areas of the skin that sweat more profusely than average is more likely to develop acne. Hot and humid weather can make acne worse, especially in the tropic. Acne is more common and very severe in most cases for people living in the tropics.


Although inefficient face washing does not cause acne, soap and water will reduce the number of bacteria getting into the whiteheads and turning them black. Some evidence suggests that the lightly abrasive buffing pads may help.





Medications: There are a few, very few, medications that make acne worse. If your acne gets worse when you start a new medications consult your doctor for a substitute medication if at all possible. It can take months to recover from a full blown acne flair up.


Benzyl peroxide is an ingredient in most acne medicines that has been proven to help with mild to moderate cases of acne. The cheap ones are just as good as the expensive ones as long as they have benzyl peroxide in them.





The pustule that gets bigger and bigger with no head in sight may require a prescription strength antibiotic lotion like clindamycin or erythromycin. If cysts and scars begin to form then you may need to take antibiotics by mouth. They must be taken everyday and exactly as prescribed.
In theory, eating greasy food makes your acne worse. Like the first user said, I don't think that's really been proven.








If nothing else, I can imagine that other aspects of a greasy diet might contribute. For example, when you walk into McDonald's or something, there are grease particles in the air. They get on your skin.





When you eat fries or chicken nuggets, your fingers get greasy, even if you use a napkin. Then you touch your face.





Etc.
