Can diet cause acne?

There is no concrete evidence that food causes acne. Following the strictest diet will not by itself clear your acne.
On the other hand, a few people find that their acne seem to worsen when they eat certain foods, particularly chocolates, fried food and chillies. These people should avoid the foods that clearly aggravate their acne.

Oh my goodness! So much technology and the cause of pimples is still unkown! That's so funny, a simple thing like acne is still a mystery! The whole 'pores getting clogged with oil during puberty' is just a theory, its not even proven to be true.

Me an Rosacea.. possible.

Strenuous exercise, heat from sunlight, severe sunburn, stress, cold wind, moving to a warm or hot environment from a cold one. All these things can cause rosacea. I wonder if I've ever gotten that and just haven't realized it.
I also love spicy food and that too can be a cause of rosacea. wow, watch out spicy food lovers!

There's a gazzilion skin disease that I didn't know about! For example, Rosacea, which is a common condition that is estimated to affect over 45 million people worldwide. It affects fair-skinned people of mostly north-western European descent.
Rosacea affects both sexes, but is almost three times more common in women, and has a peak age between 30 and 60.
