Are All Acne Myths True?
As with anything there are many myths some true and some false. Here are some acne myths that are definitely NOT true.
1. If you eat chocolate or fatty food it will not automatically mean you getting acne.
2. A blackhead is not dirt, its dark colour is excess skin pigment. Washing yourself more will not help prevent blackheads. Do not stop washing though as this will allow bacteria to multiply.
3. If someone you know has acne, you have no need to worry you will not catch it. Acne is not contagious.
