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.

View allI'm considering getting another chemical peel for my acne because a doctor recommended it and also suggested using a skin lightening cream. I'm curious if it's okay to go ahead with both treatments. Would you say that using the skin whitening cream and continuing with the chemical peel is a safe and effective plan, or should I be concerned about any side effects or issues? What do you think I should do?
-Yes, you can continue with the chemical peels and skin-lightening cream if recommended by your doctor. Follow their advice closely, use sunscreen daily, and monitor your skin's response to avoid irritation.

I'm a 37-year-old male and I've noticed itchy red bumps on my thighs, arms, stomach, and legs. They seem to start under the skin and when the bigger ones burst, they release a strange fluid and blood with a bad odor, and it becomes painful. They seem to appear over hair follicles. I did some research and thought it might be something like HS but it doesn't fully match. I don't smoke and I'm not overweight. Since they started a month ago, I've changed my diet by cutting out dairy and reducing sugar and grains while adding supplements, probiotics, and vitamins. I've noticed fewer large bumps now, but there are still a lot of small ones. What do you think this could be?
In your case, since the bumps are emitting a strange fluid and blood with a putrid odor, it may be a more severe form of folliculitis. To help treat your symptoms, I recommend using an antibacterial wash like Hibiclens to cleanse the affected areas. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the bumps. In some cases, oral antibiotics may be necessary, so I suggest consulting with a healthcare provider to determine if that is needed. In terms of supplements, continue taking your probiotics and vitamins as they can support your overall health and immune system. However, it's important to address the underlying skin issue with the appropriate treatment. Remember to maintain good hygiene practices, avoid shaving the affected areas, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice for further evaluation and management.
