Acne problem ? need dietery advice !!

Some doctors believe that acne are not related to diet They argue that oily sebaceous glands are not excretory glands ,so their secretions are not effected by our diet In simple words whether you eat more oil or less ,these glands make their own oil and secrete it in constant flow.

But some people experience that some particular diet increases their pimples problem .Sweet food items ,chocolates , oily and spicy foods, dry fruits and nuts [especially ground nut] are blamed to increase acne problem since ages.
Wiser advice would be that even if it is scientifically proved , that diet doesn't influences acne , but if you feel some of the food items increases your acne than its better to avoid them.

Dermatopathology

We have a separate unit for investigations related to skin and hair diseases. Routine blood test , complete skin analysis , hair analysis , fine needle aspiration cytology , skin biopsy , skin smear are some of the common tests we do daily.
Our dermatologist examine histology slides and correlate it clinically to conclude a final diagnosis , that way we better understand the skin problem of our patients .

However we take care of the fact that  only minimum necessary test are advised.
