I remember growing up that my sister would always experience major breakouts. It seems like her teen years will fill with acne trouble and embarrassment. She struggled for years to get it under control. She tried every type of cleanser that you can imagine. Some products would help, but nothing would totally cure the problem. Every day she faced teasing from school mates and was really beginning to have both physical and emotional scaring. It was at about this time that my parents decided to take her to a doctor, and see if there may be something more to the acne problem than just your average teenage breakouts.
It was quickly discovered that my sister had an allergy to eggs. Every time she eats eggs she experiences pretty bad break outs. They tested her for all sorts of different allergies, but eggs were the only thing that causes her problems. Once it was discovered the source of the problems, she was able to eliminate them from her diet, and right away her skin began to clear. It was amazing what a difference one little thing can make. Before that, I had no idea that a food allergy could make a person break out like that.
