Dr. Jay Wofford explains what causes acne and answers common questions about acne triggers, including: Does stress trigger acne? Does diet affect acne?
Stress is not the root cause of acne; however, acne like other inflammatory conditions can be worsened during times of stress. There's a lot of conflicting and contradictory information and the truth is we really don't know for sure the exact impact that diet plays on acne. One thing we do know about diets role in acne based on some of the most recent evidence is that diets that are high in processed sugars and carbohydrates do lead to a pro-inflammatory state that likely does exacerbate acne.
