Eating eggs does not directly cause acne for most people. Acne is primarily influenced by factors like hormones, genetics, and skin care habits rather than specific foods. However, some individuals might notice that certain foods, including eggs, seem to worsen their acne, possibly due to personal sensitivities or allergies.

Here are a few key points to consider:

  1. Hormonal changes during adolescence can increase oil production in the skin, leading to acne.
  2. Dietary impact on acne varies; while some studies suggest high-glycemic foods or dairy might influence acne, eggs are not commonly linked.
  3. Individual reactions differ; if you suspect eggs worsen your skin, you might try eliminating them for a few weeks to see if there’s improvement.
  4. Maintaining a balanced diet, good skin hygiene, and consulting a dermatologist if acne is persistent or severe is important.

If you have concerns about your skin or diet, a healthcare professional can provide personalized advice and treatment options tailored to your needs.

I'm experiencing some allergic reactions on my face after using tretin. I was advised to start with applying it for 10 minutes, then move to 20 minutes, and eventually increase the duration gradually. But there was this one time I left it on for a longer period, and that's when I noticed these reactions. There are dry patches on the affected area now. What should I do?

I'm really worried about the moles on my face and body. I tried homeopathic treatment, but I couldn't keep up with it, and now my moles have increased and I'm getting warts too. I'm scared that if I don't find a solution soon, my face will be covered in moles. Initially, I had 1213 moles but now it's up to 2324. I don't want any scars from treatment and want my face to look smooth. How much would it cost if I chose laser treatment for my whole face? Also, would homeopathy be a good option for me? How long would it take to completely get rid of these moles from my face?

How long does scabies take to clear up? I've used permethrin cream for two nights straight, but these itchy rashes are driving me nuts. How can I get rid of them quickly?

-It usually takes 1-2 weeks for scabies to clear up after using permethrin cream. The itching may persist for a few days even after treatment, but if symptoms continue beyond 2 weeks, consult your doctor for further care.
