What Are Pimples?
Acne refers to an inflammatory skin condition that can take on different forms. It may appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples or cysts. An estimated 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 are plagued with acne, with 20 percent of people suffering from this condition all throughout their adulthood.1
Pimples usually develop due to the over-activity of the sebaceous glands. Once the glands produce too much sebum, the pores can become clogged with dirt, dead skin and oil, triggering acne breakouts. However, the misconception that pimples are solely because a person’s skin is dirty is not entirely true. Numerous factors directly influence acne breakouts, which may be external or internal.
What Causes Pimples?
There are numerous possible causes why pimples develop, from oily skin to hormones. Some of the most common causes include:
- Hormones. Hormones directly influence how the skin reacts to external factors. This cause is commonly seen in adolescents. Teenagers and young adults may suffer from hormonal fluctuations, which may increase sebum production, trigger skin inflammation and cause bacteria responsible for acne to form.2
- Stress. An overload of stress hormones in the body can cause pimples by promoting skin damage and triggering inflammation.3
-Comedogenic skin products. A special type of acne may be caused by skin products that clog the pores and hair follicles. Some of the most common comedogenic ingredients in cosmetic products include various oils and fragrances.4
- Dry skin. While oily skin is usually the culprit when it comes to acne breakouts, dry skin can also aggravate your skin by keeping the sebum inside instead of on the skin surface. The sebum then clogs the pores and makes pimples appear.5
- Dairy and high-glycemic foods. Dairy and high-sugar products cause your blood sugar to spike, which triggers inflammation in your body. The insulin spike brought on by these food may cause hormonal fluctuations, which also triggers pimple formation.6

Hi Ares, anything that causes inflammation in the body can certainly upset our skin. Continue to stay on your gluten free diet (and elimination diet) and look at the list above that Gabes posted. Are there other things on that list that apply to you? Are you having any seasonal allergies ( pollen, dust, pet dander, etc,)?
Have you tried any new soaps, skin care products, laundry products, or cologne?
After I developed LC my skin became very, very sensitive. It’s really the process of elimination to figure out what is creating the problem.
Good luck,
Carol

thank you ! I've never had allergies! I eat only chicken and some vegetables, and the croissants for breakfast (I know it's gluten and yeast and sometimes with jam inside, but I can not find anything to eat that is not heavy) but I suspect it's chicken and steroids since it's been years since I eat and now I'm saturated! I have done liver blood tests three months ago and they are all ok! the problem is present for a month I have a full back! they are not white but only red :(
The problem of the list for me is I have migeain with some food ( possible intollerance of high histamine and many food make gas very much) :( specially starch and sugar .

HI Ares,
I have a couple of thoughts. If you think chicken is an issue for you, you might try substituting turkey. Most everyone on this board can tolerate turkey and if you can get a hormone free, antibiotic free turkey, that may be even better.
Also, 95% of us are intolerant of gluten and it is possible gluten is creating problems for your skin. I make a muffin called "Morning Glory Muffin' which is Paleo. The recipe is in our Dee's kitchen section, but here are the ingredients. It makes a very good breakfast bread and this may be a good substitute for you, instead of croissants.
It makes 24 muffins:
2 1/2 c almond flour
1 T cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 C grated carrots ( or substitute: grated zucchini, canned pumpkin, bananas, etc)
1 large apple, cored and grated
1 C shredded coconut
1 C raisin (or dates)
3 lg eggs
2 T honey (optional)
1/2 C coconut oil or avocado oil
1 tsp vanilla.
Bake at 350 degrees until they are done in the middle, about 25 minutes.
You mix the dry ingredients, then stir in the fruit, then add the liquid ingredients. You can make muffins or make bars by spreading the batter into a 9x11 or 12 inch pan. The batter is thick so you do want to check it to make sure it's done in the middle. I make these every week. I freeze some, then let them thaw and re-heat when I'm ready to eat them. They are very moist. Sometimes I put pineapple in them-- it's a flexible recipe.
Please consider going completely gluten free and see if this helps your skin. I assume you have not changed your laundry soap or other products that would irritate your skin.
Take care, I hope it improves soon.

that happens to me when I am having histamine/sensitivity reaction
it can be to chemicals (even things like washing detertants for kitchen, laundry etc), plastics, metals.
Once i resolved magnesium and B6 deficiency, these reactions went away.

magnesium glyncinate is safest option for the gut health, daily RDA for magnesium for females is 350mg per day active magnesium.
spread the dosage out through the day
Vit B6 - P5P is the best form (it is active bioavailable form) Thorne P5P is best option

Hi, I went to the dermatologist and he told me it's a food allergy! I read that a food allergy depends on the permeability of the intestine! that the lymphocytes attack these macromolecules! can you tell me what I can do? I do not want to take antihistamines! I have read that often even the healthiest, most harmless food ate can always become intolerable can you tell me what I can do to understand what hurts me or if I am at a stage where in reality my gut is no longer able to protect me from not being more waterproof! I also have urticaria never before in my life!
Please write me all to do and understand !

Hi Ares,
I had a bout of urticaria last Fall and the only way to get it to calm down for me was to take twice the recommended dose of antihistamine twice a day, and this was from my skin Dr. So I took 2 Zyrtec morning and night and I also took a 50mg Benedryl at bed time but only for a couple night just enough to get the hive/wheal to dissipate.
A lot of us have sent a stool sample in to Enterolab.com to detect our most immediate protein food sensitivities it is called the A1 & C1 panel. I am not sure what your protocol would be if you are not in the USA. We do not need a Dr to order this for us, we can order it ourselves.
If this is not an option for you then you will need to start a food diary and really limit your foods down to just a small handful. Perhaps 1 protein, 1 vegetable with water and eat and drink only that for a day and watch for any reactions, then you can add 1 item and wait another day even two days and see if there is a reaction. This is a slow process if you are not able to send in a stool sample. It is highly recommended to remove gluten from the diet, and also dairy. A lot of us have to leave soy and egg out too, but all of this is a process so just begin slow and with meager line up of food and expand from there.
Good Luck, urticaria is no fun!

thanks for the answer, but are these proteins that are protein derived from meat or are proteins of other foods such as carbohydrate proteins like gluten or vegetable proteins? but I did not understand if the problem of gas and rashes are only mine or are typical of those who are ill with lymphocytic microscopic colitis! I was told that the antihistamine only takes a little but does not cure! I take flunarizine but it is important to find out which foods cause urticaria! I read that if the intestine no longer has an impermeable barrier then the macromolecules pass and are seen as enemies by the antigens causing a histamine problem! so the problem is colitis but I do not know how much it can be. cure the colon now that it is inflamed.
Thanks
Thanks
