OK. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I EAT A PIEACE OF CHOCLATE, I GET A PIM PLE. THEY SAY ITS A MYTH THAT CHOCOLATE DOES NOT CAUSE ACNE. DOES CHOCOLATE BREAK ONLY ME OUT, OR DOES IT ONLY DO IT TO ME?

The literature says NO. My experience says YES.
Everytime I eat chocolate I get pimples myself.
The literature must not be right all the time.

My psychologist said she got pimples whenever she ate chocolate and she was already a senior citizen.
Maybe you can go about this scientifically and prove to yourself without a shadow of a doubt it's the chocolate by going a week without chocolate, and then introducing a different kind of chocolate only once a week, on "test day". See how long it takes for that kind of chocolate (hot chocolate, chocolate mousse, chocolate flavored things...) to have an effect on your skin. Make sure you are not touching your face with greasy fingers as you eat it.
Good luck!

Here's how you need to look at it (as explained to me):
A pimple is your bodys way of pushing out the "bad stuff" that is inside. It does this with the fats, sugars, chemicals, and other things that you ingest that your body cannot handle.
What your chocolate situation is saying to me is that you should try to flush more (drink LOTS of water) and also put more veggies (I find carrots/Vitamin A are very helpful) into your diet. It isn't the chocolate itself that is breaking you out, just the addition of other substances, including sugars to your diet.

It's more like the sugar in the chocolate that is the problem. Try to get it under control now as acne from sugar makes you more susceptible to diabetes.

According to doctors, there is no connection between eating chocolate and getting pimples. Pimples, or acne, occur when the skin's sebaceous glands produce an excess of sebum. Sebum is an oil that keeps skin and hair supple and healthy-looking.
When the sebum builds up it causes pimples.
I hope I've helped
