Hello there wong... to set some myths straight at the outset, food is Not Directly linked to acne eruptions. Also your history of acne as it stands is insufficient to arrive at a detailed plan..to begin with, how old are you? Cosmetics used should ideally be 'water-based' & not 'heavily layered on the skin'. Market now has newer bases for benzyl peroxide that cause less irritation ...check with your local dermatologist; alternatively use a cleansing agent that leaves behind a moisturizing 'film' to help you better. Regds & get well soon..cheers Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Bangalore, India
