Teenagers have to worry about pimples just when they want to look their best. Acne can pop up on the shoulders, back, neck, and face. Many people still have acne or acne scars when they are adults. These things do not cause acne: Greasy foods Chocolate No sex Teenagers get acne because they have a lot of androgen. Androgen is a hormone. The glands under your skin make more oil when you have a lot of androgen. The oil ducts get clogged and infected. Then bumps pop up on the skin. Newborn babies can get a little acne from their mother’s hormones. This can happen when the baby is 2 to 4 weeks old. These things help cause acne: A girl’s hormones before her period or when she is pregnant Heavy lotions or greasy makeup Stress Foods with iodine--like kelp, beef liver, broccoli, asparagus, and white onions Vitamin pills that have iodine Cooking oils, tar, or creosote in the air Sleeping on one side of your face or resting your head in your hands Birth control pills, steroids, anticonvulsive medicines, and lithium

Whatever you do, do not take Centrum! I got very angry with my mother a few weeks ago when she bought me Centrum after I specifically told her NO IODINE. I refuse to take them and she thinks I'm out of my mind. I had an awful experience with eating onions not too long ago...I had huge boils all over my face and my skin never reacts like that to anything. I have very mild acne...no cysts or big pimples...just little bumps all over. But after eating a whole onion, I had a face full of red cysts. You do need iodine in your diet or you'll get a big ol' goiter on your neck but you get plenty...heck, even water has iodine in it. You definately don't need supplements. I don't know why drug companies insist on putting this awful stuff in all their vitamins. Steer clear! Look for children's multi-vitamins...sometimes they are iodine-free and they taste really good too =) One more thing...not everything with iodine will make everyone's acne worse. It differs from person to person. For me, I eat one onion and my face explodes. But I can eat lobster and most shellfish with no problem...I had a 2lb lobster for dinner last week on my mom's birthday and absolutely nothing happened. I think it differs from food to food and person to person. [This message has been edited by jad211 (edited 04-18-2002).]
