Eating eggs does not directly cause acne for most people. Acne is primarily influenced by factors like hormones, genetics, and skin care habits rather than specific foods. However, some individuals might notice that certain foods, including eggs, seem to worsen their acne, possibly due to personal sensitivities or allergies.

Here are a few key points to consider:

  1. Hormonal changes during adolescence can increase oil production in the skin, leading to acne.
  2. Dietary impact on acne varies; while some studies suggest high-glycemic foods or dairy might influence acne, eggs are not commonly linked.
  3. Individual reactions differ; if you suspect eggs worsen your skin, you might try eliminating them for a few weeks to see if there’s improvement.
  4. Maintaining a balanced diet, good skin hygiene, and consulting a dermatologist if acne is persistent or severe is important.

If you have concerns about your skin or diet, a healthcare professional can provide personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your needs.

I've been dealing with a genital herpes diagnosis on the head of my penis, and while my HIV test came back negative, these sores keep reappearing every 10 to 12 days. I was prescribed Acivir 400 and an ointment, both of which I stopped using after the initial 10-day treatment as the doctor advised. But when the sores come back, I can't help but start taking the Acivir again and applying the ointment. Is this okay to do, or should I be sticking to a specific course of medication? Are there other treatments that might help reduce how often these sores break out? Also, any precautionary measures I should be considering?

Continue same treatment.
