Eggs – The Other Cause Of Acne?

While I am pretty certain that my acne was caused by dairy (from pasteurized milk), I had some small acne flares from time to time despite not eating any dairy – now I think I narrowed the other cause of acne down to eggs.

And it would make sense, as both milk and eggs contain immunoglobulins. And both pasteurized milk and eggs are heat treated.

One small observation (which I need to confirm yet) is that the acne from eggs is slightly different:
  • Eggs seem to cause mainly pustules ("pimples") with round white purulent material, and mainly at what seems to be follicles (e.g. at the arms)
  • Dairy from pasteurized milk on the other hand seems to cause mainly inflamed papules/nodules at what seems to be (sweat? sebaceous?) glands (e.g. around the nose)
But same as with acne from milk, it is a "winner takes it all" situtation, with two to three spots and the rest of the skin looking fine.

Situation Normal, All Fucked Up – I guess.

- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)

- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent

Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.

If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
