Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that causes pimples and blackheads. It’s caused by bacteria that infect hair follicles in the skin. Washing the face and applying topical creams containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can help eliminate acne. Acne can be caused by genetics and hormones, but sometimes it’s unclear what causes it to flare up in some people, while others don’t experience any signs of the condition.
Regarding gluten intolerance, some people may experience acne as one of the symptoms of their condition. The link between gluten and acne isn’t clear, but some evidence suggests they’re connected. For example, one study showed that participants who followed a gluten-free diet experienced significant improvements in their acne symptoms after just two weeks on the diet.
