I have heard of many people who claim to have solved their cystic acne problems through diet, but unfortunately it doesn’t work for everyone. There is some ambiguity on what a “good diet” consists of. For example, some diets are not too keen on grain and carbohydrate based foods while most nutritionists recommend a grain based diet. Also there are lots of books on diet and foods, and there are some differences in opinion.

Interestingly, many studies had been performed on the diet and cystic acne relationship, and none was found. Also, a sickness or disease caused by malnutrition or poor diet tends to linger on until the poor diet is rectified. For example, if you had a low iron intake, you would continue to feel tired and run down until your iron intake increased. Cystic acne (in most cases) disappears in the mid-twenties even though sufferers have made no change in their diet. Now, if cystic acne is a disease caused by poor diet, why should it suddenly disappear?

One of the most debatable topics when it comes to treating acne is that a patient’s diet is the biggest factor affecting it. It is usually regarded that fried fatty foods, junk food, chocolate and chili are the main types of food that can cause a big stir and are said to increase acne activity in acne affected areas, while a more vegetarian based diet is said to decrease the acne activity.

If you were debating on the opposing side, your first argument would be there is no scientific proof or evidence that the diet an individual follows has any affect on the activity of acne.
