Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Hi,
I am a dermatologist by profession and within a careeer of 10 years I have seen lots of acne problems. According to me Red and white pimples are the worst and painful. Acneprone skin is very sensitive, even if you touch it once the redness will increase with itching. According to me there is no magical way to heal your pimples over night as this is the puffed part of your skin due to the bacteria.
In simple words try to improve your diet and have lots of water that helps in healingg process. Un-necessary oily food should be avoided to get a healthy spotless skin.

Chocolate does not cause acne...most acne is caused by hormones. However, a poor diet can make acne worse. Drinking plenty of water, cutting WAY back on junk food like sodas and chocolate and using a cleanser that contains benzoyle peroxide and some sort of acne gel containing salicylic acid will clear that right up.

Does Chocolate Give You Pimples

OK, this is a hotly debated question. I think it depends on what kind of chocoate you are eating. If you are eating things like snickers bars, this will give you pimples, not necessarily from the chocolate, but from all the other things in the candy. Howevr, I have heard that dark chocolate, plain and without a lot of processed stuff in there, can be very good for you. Not only a mood booster, but has been shown to be good for circulation and heart health. Also, some people just react differently to foods. You need to find what works best for you.

No, it is an old wives tale. Pimples and acne are cause by hormones in the body and occasionally a bacterial infection. You need medication to get rid of pimples and acne; not a diet.
I had slight adult acne due to hormonal problems and went to the dermatologist for years. I can tell you for certain that chocolate does not cause pimples.
