No it's a myth.
Good news for all you chocoholics: Eating chocolate does not cause pimples. Skin Care experts agree that acne is not caused by any specific food, including French fries, candy, soda, or potato chips.
The real acne causes are a buildup of dead skin cells within the pore, an excess of skin oil (called sebum), and a proliferation of acne-causing bacteria. None of these factors are triggered by the foods we eat.
Probably the biggest myth of all is that eating greasy foods causes your skin to produce more oil. Greasy foods, while not really good for your health, will not cause oily skin or produce pimples. In fact, hormonal changes within the body have the greatest impact on sebum production.there is no direct link between any specific food to the development of pimples.
Due to different people's different lifestyle and body chemistry, the answer to this question is still inconclusive:
No, chocolate does not give a person with little history of acne, acne.
yes but it is not because of coco but rather the sugary milk that is factory produced and is only present in milk chocolate
It all depends. You can eat chocolate as much as you want, but you have to eat right too. Eat fruits and vegetables and meats and proteins, but not so much it causes you to become sick or over fed. Always wash your face at least once or twice a day. Always make sure you are hydrated with water too. Dehydration and lack of water in your body can cause you to have acne too. Just remember to eat healthy and drink lots of water and wash your face daily and your face will always be fresh! :)

Most nutritionists will say that chocolate (whether Hershey's or any other) brand does not cause acne. These, however, are the nutritionists who have not suffered this themselves.
Everybody's physiology is different, and there are accounts of some people being unable to eat large amounts of chocolate or chocolate products without suffering effects of acne. It would also seem that, the more cocoa used in the production (e.g. darker chocolate) the more pronounced the effects.
Eating chocolate does not cause acne. Nor does dirt or make-up.

In most cases peanuts do not cause acne. This is because researchers have concluded there is no proper diagnosis for acne. There are several factors that contribute to it. Certain types of food intake like eating too much junk food, eating oily food and reducing the number of watery vegetable and fruits weakens your skin cells and damages them which opens your skin to acne vulnerability.
Yes, diet can certainly cause acne.
Cystic Acne causes very deep, painful acne that can leave scars.
Well, it depends on the average oil intake of the person. If its some one who eats a lot of oil....chocolate won't hurt. BUt if its some one who rarely has oil there is a chance. Though, people with a bad case of acne usually have other reasons than chocolate.

Nope! The list of things we know actually causes acne is not very long, but we do know this: Chocolate, and greasy foods, for that matter, are not on it.Medical professionals believe genetics, changing hormones, greasy makeup, and taking certain medications are the factors at play, not what you eat. However, if you already have acne, certain things can make it worse, like pollution, humidity, and stress.
Too much bacon can because bacon has oil in it and that causes acne.
Not eating both can and cannot cause acne depending on the situation. For example, if you are very healthy and do not have any toxins in your body then not eating will not cause acne. However, if you do have toxins in your system, when you don't eat your body can see this as an oppotunity unload the toxins that have been stored in your body tissues. This short period of acne occurring while not eating is often called a detox period.
