A recent study published in the December 2012 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology by a group of Italian dermatologists has shown that moderate to severe acne was strongly associated with a family history of acne in first degree relatives. The risk of developing moderate to severe acne was lower in those patients who had a lower body weight; this was especially the case for male patients. There was no association found between acne and smoking, although the risk of developing acne was higher in those with increased milk consumption. The association between milk and acne was most marked for skim milk. Interestingly, an association between eating more fish and having less acne was observed. Other foods such as red meat, fruits and vegetables, chocolate, cakes and sweets, breads and pasta, cheese and yoghurt were not associated with acne.

As December ascends upon us, we start to think of New Year’s resolutions. Some to make, a few to break, but all start with an honest agenda to improve ourselves. We often think of increasing exercise, losing weight or drinking more water when it comes to New Year’s resolutions. Maybe we should be focusing on the health of our skin. It is the largest organ – and one of the easiest giveaways of our health and age – so why not make 2013 the start of something beautiful?…

Did you know that the treatment of plantar warts (bottom of foot) and genital warts are covered by OHIP, and the management of corns and calluses as well?
