I, have noticed this as well in myself, and people don't believe me either. I have done many different dietary tests and have narrowed it down to citric acid, catsup and tomatoes being the biggest problems. When asking my derm about it, his reply, "well, then don't eat any." Having a citric acid free diet though is relatively difficult, reading the ingredients on literally everything when possible. It leaves out most fruits and juices and most frozen foods.
: I'm convinced citric acid causes me to break. I saw a dermatologist who just dismissed the possibility. Can citric acid cause acne in some people?
