AuthorTopic: placement of breakouts / location of acne

I was wondering if anyone found a correlation to what they ate and where they broke out. For instance if I eat fruit without fat, I will always break out on my forehead or between my eyebrows. If I eat dirty protein, I will break out on my chin. And if I eat too much heavy food, I will break out on my cheeks.
Anyone else notice this?

Taylor, how is your skin doing?
how long have you been on the diet now?
Don't you have hormonal acne?

My skin doesn't breakout unless I eat something bad, my skin is quite sensitive and I can't get away with many munch foods. No, I'm not the one with hormonal acne.

My Dr. [naturopath] say my acne, which is situated around my neckline/jaw area, is resulting from adrenal exhaustion. She also recommends I stay away from oranges [which I eat allot] since she's noticed many acne patients react strongly to oranges.
Dunno if this helps,

Taylor, I'm sorry that I took you for somebody else. I now know who you are again (your username confused me)

how did she come to this conclusion; has she measured the level of hormones / neurotransmitters produced in the adrenal glands?

So far, not a single acne patient that is on my diet reacts to oranges...
do you?

I break out around the mouth and chin area a lot more then other areas of my face. I NEVER break out on my forehead but around my mouth for some reason I attract acne like crazy and samething with my back side. I was curious to know why it is like this?

it is individually different what sebum glands are most active, just as it is individually different as to how long specific bones are (in ratio to other bones)
where your glands are most active, you are most prone to acne
