Is chocolate the cause of oily skin???or is it the cause of pimples??h can i cure pimples??
May 19, 2013

Dr. Salim Saab Otolaryngology (ENT)
Chocolate can be a cause of oily skin since its components increase the secretion of sebum. There's little evidence that chocolate causes pimples directly but with stimulation of sebum secretion it can promote inflammatory responses which can lead to acne. Pimples can be treated with a proper diet that has food with a low GI (Glycemic Index) that is slower to release glucose (like banana, carrots, corn, mixed grain bread,..). A medical treatment should be prescribed by your Dermatologist
