Yes, food can trigger it or make it worse but it isn't the the cause of acne. Stress can have many physiologic effects on the body, including changes in hormones that may theoretically lead to acne. If you think that it's food, then make sure you eat a balanced diet :)

you can put chocolate on your skin and help acne, i have heard

Chocolate does this - so do fatty foods (greasy foods) like pizza, potato chips, hamburgers etc.

Basically, many people suffer from acne (but like Kryptonite, it doesn't cause acne) because of oily skin that blocks dirt into pours. If you eat greasy foods, some of that fat is expelled through the skin (the oil).

By eating healthier and drinking more water, you can improve the condition of your skin and your overall health.

Food causing acne is a myth.

Sugar and oils can influence, because you touch the food, then touch your face. Either the sugar feeds the bacteria, or the oil clogs your pours
