Dietary Triggers - Seafood

Fish and seafood

From polluted water and toxic algae blooms can cause persistent skin problems, including rash-like acne.

This doesn’t seem to happen in better restaurants when they get their shellfish from other parts of the country

Seafood such as crabs, lobsters, shellfish and prawns are high in Iodine content, which are usually associated with pimples and acne While eating seafood does not directly cause a pimple to grow immediately, accumulation of high iodine content in the body overtime is likely to cause the skin to be more susceptible to acne breakouts. Surely, seafood cannot be the only culprit to bad skin issues, but it is recommended for people with acne-prone skin to reduce their intake.

If your acne is treatment-resistant and rashy, try eliminating fish and shellfish from your diet for a while, especially if it's obtained locally
