The development of acne has been blamed on a variety of foods such as colas, chocolate, shellfish, sweets, and fatty foods. There is no scientific evidence to support the value of elimination of these foods or any other foods or drinks to control acne. Four major factors believed to cause acne: 1) increased oil production by the sebaceous glands, 2) increased number of bacteria, 3) blockage of the oil duct, and 4) inflammation. Modern treatments are directed toward these factors. They include antibiotics, retinoids, and hormonal therapy. Examples include benzoyl peroxide, tetracycline, Retin-A, Accutane, and birth control pills.
