What Causes Acne? | Explained by Dermatologist

Dr. Jay Wofford explains what causes acne and answers common questions about acne triggers, including: Does stress trigger acne? Does diet affect acne?
Stress is not the root cause of acne; however, acne like other inflammatory conditions can be worsened during times of stress. There's a lot of conflicting and contradictory information and the truth is we really don't know for sure the exact impact that diet plays on acne. One thing we do know about diets role in acne based on some of the most recent evidence is that diets that are high in processed sugars and carbohydrates do lead to a pro-inflammatory state that likely does exacerbate acne.

These doctors don’t care anything about your skin when you enter the office, it’s like really observe the skin so we can figure it out I have acne and it’s annoying because it won’t go away

What a surface level (no pun intended) answer. Acne is caused by hormones. There’s a reason why kids don’t get it. It’s starts at puberty where hair and skin changes, including oil production etc. hate when doctors give people uninformed answers.

[ShyamsMotivationalVideoTamil]

The relationship between stress and acne has been misunderstood by many. Stress can’t directly cause acne.

However, studies show that if you already have acne, stress does make it worse.

Please do the following to get rid of acne and pimples:-

100% dairy causes acne. I can document different types of dairy products, and the different types, and locations of the resulting acne, over time periods ranging from 24 hours to several months. 100% Dairy causes I personally believe every drop that goes into your gut, comes out your skin. Dropping dairy changed my life. Cz it kills digestion, as well. Peace
