Peanut allergy caused my acne
I am a 41 year old female, and I have had moderate/severe acne since I was 11. After suffering with this for many years (nothing the doctors prescribed would help), I discovered that eating peanuts or anything cooked in peanut oil would cause me to have severe breakouts within 2 or 3 days.
I highly suspect that other foods irritate the acne as well (such as sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds), but so far I have not been able to totally narrow down exactly which other foods are causing it.
I am so tired of hearing that diet does not affect acne; that I just need to wash my face better; and all the other misconceptions that doctors seem to have. Thank you for your site and the information you are providing.
