So, around January until March I ate several eggs a day (anywhere from 1-4 depending on the day). I noticed that my acne started to increase on my chin and I was getting way more whiteheads than usual. So around the end of March I stopped. Once I stopped, the acne slowed down a lot, but I noticed that now I get more acne on my chin than I did before all of this. I am wondering how long it usually takes for hormones to level out after cutting out something that breaks you out.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure eating eggs affect your hormones. You might be mildly allergic (sensitive) to eggs. Food sensitivity can definitely lead to acne.
My acne triggers are also eggs and dairy, I would get bumps from them on my chin, same spot as hormonal acne. But as soon as I cut out eggs and dairy my bumps went away. I get actual hormonal acne on my chin sometimes, with or without eating my trigger foods.
If you think you get acne from food, keep a food and acne log. Write down what you eat and the next day look at you face in the morning and next to the food write down if you have a breakout or not. After a month or two you'll have an idea of what your trigger foods are and you can avoid them.
To address your hormonal acne, if you have that, you should probably speak to a doctor.

Thanks for responding! I used to think that but after all this I think the natural growth hormones that are found in eggs may have had an effect on my hormones.
