Daniel0202 2 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello! I have recently started on accutane and I have heared that sugar in generel causes acne. But I love chocolate!! By eating chocolate once a week, does it harm anything to my acne course? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conde de Montecristo 1 Share Posted December 15, 2011 In my opinion, no. As long as you take accutane you can eat whatever you want. It may be unhealthy, but it will not bring you acne. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanTheMan123 7 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Do be aware that diet doesn't cause acne. What causes your acne is deep inside of you. Of course having bad hygiene and eating a lot of greasy food could definitely make your acne worse, but it would never cause it. Once you go on Accutane it will stop your body from creating more acne, you don't have to worry about what you eat or any other day to day aspects of your life.

start 8 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Basically anything that intereferes with your natural hormone production and increases the production of sebum makes your acne worse. Including chocolate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gutterflower 214 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Assuming you don't eat so much chocolate that you get diabetes/become morbidly obese/explode/replace your entire balanced diet with it, you can eat chocolate. I'm on Accutane, I occasionally nibble some chocolate, it is No Big Deal. People are so doom and gloom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been on for two and a half months, totally clear now. Even though I eat chocolate. No side effects aside from dry lips, low dose (20mg). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully it will work for me too... Been on it for 3 days now, haven't noticed any side effects yet. My doctor wanted me to be on 2 pillsx20mg for 2 weeks then go over to 3 pills. hopefully 4 pills in the future. regarding that my weight is 86 kg i probably need a high dose good luck on your course! how long are you supposed to be on it?
