Myth: If You Leave Your Acne Alone, You'll Outgrow It
This is absolutely untrue. If you acne outbreak, it is important to
treat it as early as possible. Leaving it alone can often make matter
worse. And if it does get worse, it can create permanent scars which
not just affect your physical look but also your emotion feeling about
yourself.
Myth: Acne Is Caused by Eating Oily Food, Chocolate or Caffeine
There is no strong medical evident that certain type of food or diet
result in acne. However if you notice that certain kind of food
consistently cause you to suffer from acne outbreak, it is best that
you avoid them. For example, some people are very sensitive to food
with high iodine content such as shellfish, dried fish and seaweed
which result in flare-up. There are some studies theorize that hormones
in chicken, beef and dairy products may cause early adolescent acne but
that has yet to be proven. However if you have concerned, then you may
want to substitute other sources of protein and calcium for these
products or try hormone-free organic version of them....
