Diet

Many patients hold the belief that their acne is influenced by dietary factors, while in previous decades, doctors thought that diet had little influence on acne.[15] There is surprisingly little good scientific evidence to support or refute diet as a factor influencing acne.[16] Most dermatologists are awaiting confirmatory research linking diet and acne but some support the idea that acne sufferers should experiment with their diets, and refrain from consuming such fare, including chocolate, if they find such food affects the severity of their acne.
