Myths
here are many incorrect ideas about the causes for acne. Many people believe these false ideas:
* Diet. It is possible that eating different foods can help clear acne for some people. But the relationship between food and acne has not been proven. Chocolate, chips, sugar, milk, seafood and other food do not cause acne. The effect of diet varies from person to person, no scientific evidence has been brought forth to prove or disprove that diet has any effect on acne.
* Sex. Some people think that both celibacy (no sex) and masturbation are causes for acne. This is not true. Although sexual activity produces hormonal changes in our bodies, these are completely normal and should have no effect on acne.
