Does chocolate give pimples especially wrapped to those that consume the goods? I don't know about you, but I have had this problem with chocolate for quite some time now. I don't know whether it's a coincidink or not, but it seems that when consumed, chocolate will make me breakout from time to time.
Actually, be sure to check out my acne and diet post. It seems like there are a good deal of foods that exacerbate acne.
POLL: What do you think?
Could the acne companies be hiding something from us? Could chocolate cause acne flareups? If so, is there any kind that particularly makes you breakout?
I don't seem to be the only one with the problem either. If you look at the results below, you will see that about 4,400 people around the world look up the phrase "chocolate acne," each month. This of course does not include other similar phrases such as "does chocolate cause acne," or "chocolate causes breakouts."
Could it be true? If we went out and ate some chocolate tonight would we breakout because of it?

When consumed, I don't believe chocolate has any factor in whether or not an individual will or will not get acne. There is no proven evidence, and if there were, we'd all probably know about it by now.
You must be everywhere. I just found you on Hubpages. Loving the site. Keep up the great work.

I have to disagree with you. I generally eat dark chocolate and that is actually good for skin. Maybe cheap, sugary chocolate will do it to you, and I actually nixed all soda and chocolate out of my diet for a while and nothing happened. Maybe it's an allergic reaction for you, but for me, it doesn't do anything.
I'm not sure what in the chocolate causes pimples, but in this case it doesn't matter whether you have acne or not. Even some people without acne really get pimples due to chocolate, but I guess that has to do with your skin type etc. I don't get pimples due to chocolate, but I know people who do.
Good points. I guess it all really depends on the person. Good call tgRebecca.
Hi, Thanks for the post! Are there any foods that promote healthier looking skin?
Always thought this might have been an old wives tale, but whether its pure coincedence or not, I do seem to notice a mild outbreak after i indulge a little too much on chocolate.
But what is it in chocolate that actually causes this?
