What type of diet may help acne and what could further worsen the condition

I am doctor RP Singh practicing at Twacha Clinic, Delhi, Saraswati Vihar. After retiring from the Army in 2012, I am practicing here for the last 15 years I would like to talk about the relation of diet and acne, that is called pimples. It is very common in the adult group of children and nowadays as the diet is changing fast, so the pimples are also increasing. Earlier the diet was thought to be not having much relation with the acne but l now proven that diet has a role in the formation and flaring of the acne.

There are other factors which causes acne is basically genetic and the topical applications. Plus diet also plays a major role. Among the diets the carbohydrate diet like the, which is there in the rice, which is there in the maida, there is in wheat. So whatever we are we are eating from these things in excessive quantity, if we take carbohydrate in excess quantity like we are using if you are taking lot of sugar, lot of cold drinks, ice creams and if you are taking the junk food like pizza, burger, momos, noodles, pasta, these are basically all refined carbohydrates and refined carbohydrate once taken causes sudden rise of sugar level in the blood to which the body releases a lot large quantity of insulin to control it and this insulin further causes the raise of the insulin dependent growth hormone which proceed the production of oil, excessive production of oil and formation of pimples and acne. So this is directly linked with high carbohydrate diet is direct link to the formation of acne.

If you prevent that then the even you can avoid the oral drugs if you control your diet Raebareli and if you want for the details on the acne you can contact me through lybrate.

Here are reason, prevention, and treatments of Stretch Marks

I am Doctor.R.P Singh, a dermatologist. I will be talking on stretch marks which is now a common problem. Stretch marks are basically linear scars on the body which appear on the sudden stretching of the skin. Earlier we see this mainly in females with pregnancy or very obese people. But now it has become a common problem of all growing children and the people going to the gym due to various type of deficiencies in the food and if it is not looked after once a scar is formed you cannot do anything. Prevention is always there.

Skin, hair and nails consume a lot of proteins. The proteins make the major component of the body building material. And the skin, hair and nail, they consume protein throughout the life from shedding regularly. The upper layer of skin that is dead layer usually get changed within two weeks and the inner layer which is composed of the fibrous tissue, elastic tissue which is damaged in the stretch marks. Due to breaking of this dermis stretch marks appear. The protein component if taken regular in good quantity then the skin will be healthy and it will not break and these stretch marks will not form.

So my advice will be to all the parents and the young children that at least 1gm of protein per kg body weight should be taken. The proteins are there in the pulses and in the milk and all non-vegetarian diets. Pulses at least 2-3 katori that is at least 40-60gms of pulses should be taken per day. And about a liter of milk should be taken by the children that provides about 30-35gms of protein. And if people are taking non-veg diet then egg should also be taken regularly then the skin will be healthy. And it should be started from the beginning of the adolescent period so that the major component of the skin which is dermis should be healthy and in this way we can prevent the formation of stretch marks and once these stretch marks are formed we cannot do much. During the people who are developed due to exercises and going to the gym or during pregnancy, they can also be prevented by using sufficient lubricant and massage of the skin at regular intervals.
