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 pretty serious skin allergy lately, and it's been driving me crazy with all the itching. Got these small red pimples popping up on my hands and all over my body. It's like never-ending itching and rashes, and it sucks. I've already tried taking Avil 50, like about six tablets, one each day, hoping it might be some kind of allergy thing, but nothing's really changed. Could you suggest something that might actually help?

Sounds like you are experiencing a severe allergic reaction. I recommend you take a combination of Cetirizine (brand name Zyrtec) 10mg once daily and Hydrocortisone cream for topical application on the affected areas twice a day. Additionally, you can take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily to help reduce the allergic response. Make sure to avoid any known triggers and keep the affected areas clean and moisturized.
