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:
- Hormonal changes during adolescence can increase oil production in the skin, leading to acne.
- Dietary impact on acne varies; while some studies suggest high-glycemic foods or dairy might influence acne, eggs are not commonly linked.
- 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.
- 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 some issues with my scalp for the past 20 days. The flakes are yellowish, mostly around the top and back of my head. They're pretty easy to pick off but sometimes take some hair with them. When I wash my hair after picking them off, it really stings. Plus, I've noticed my scalp is getting oilier and my hair keeps falling out more than usual. What's going on, and what should I do?
I recommend using a medicated shampoo containing ketoconazole 2% to help with the flakes and scalp irritation. You can use it twice a week for 4 weeks, then once a week for maintenance. Additionally, you can use a coal tar shampoo to help with the scaling and itching. Make sure to leave the shampoo on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off. In case of increased oil secretion, you can use a shampoo containing salicylic acid to help control the oiliness. If the condition persists, it's best to consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
