I get the exact same syndrome and symptoms every single time I eat chocolate. Allergic reaction (nose gets sore and itchy), tiredness, generally not feeling well, then my nose swells and gets very sore from oil buildup. This is not acne. It is more of a boil. it is not on the surface but considerably deeper. It is only caused by chocolate. It is always the same. I noticed it the first time when I drank chocolate milk by the litre. it can be very severe. My nose was so swollen that my friends called me rudolf. It lasts for about two weeks after the first exposure to chocolate. I have tried and tried it again and it is always the same. To those who believe that chocolate does not cause acne and that promote it as such. I say this. Up until about the late 1960’s all the doctors manuals stated that chocolate is the worst cause of acne known. This was changed around 1970. My belief is that the candy companies being extremely profitable and powerful lobbied to have that taken out and tell everyone it is ok to eat chocolate and that it doesn’t have any connection to acne whatsoever. Question is why then did all those people think chocolate caused their problem? They must have just picked chocolate out of thin air right? Other question is why does it cause me a problem?

I’m a guy and I don’t wear make up and I do wash my face frequently…although everytime I eat chocolate I always get an acne out break. The main two things that give me acne are chocolate and nuts, don’t know why, but thats the way it is. The best cure for this is to drink atleast 6 liters of water every day for three consecutive days, it works like magic.
