And i have to skip my trip to gym.Ruginye..
This is what i get from wiki :
A rash is a change of the skin which affects its color, appearance, or texture. A rash may be localized in one part of the body, or affect all the skin. Rashes may cause the skin to change color, itch, become warm, bumpy, dry, cracked or blistered, swell and may be painful. The causes, and therefore treatments for rashes, vary widely. Diagnosis must take into account such things as the appearance of the rash, other symptoms, what the patient may have been exposed to, occupation, and occurrence in family members. The diagnosis may confirm any number of conditions.
Diet
Milk
A recent study, based on a survey of 47,335 women, did find a positive epidemiological association between acne and consumption of partially skimmed milk, instant breakfast drink, sherbet, cottage cheese, and cream cheese. The researchers hypothesize that the association may be caused by hormones (such as several sex hormones and bovine IGF-I) present in cow milk. Though there is evidence of an association between milk and acne, the exact cause is unclear. Most dermatologists are awaiting confirmatory research linking diet and acne but some support the idea that acne sufferers should experiment with their diets, and refrain from consuming such fare if they find such food affects the severity of their acne.
High carbohydrates/High GI
It has also been suggested that there is a link between a diet high in refined sugars and other processed foods and acne. The hypothesis is that rapidly digested carbohydrate food such as white bread and refined sugars produces an overload in metabolic glucose that is rapidly converted into the types of fat that can build up in sebaceous glands. According to this hypothesis, the startling absence of acne in non-westernized societies could be explained by the low glycemic index of these cultures' diets. Others have cited possible genetic reasons for there being no acne in these populations, but similar populations shifting to these diets do develop acne.[citation needed] Note also that the populations studied consumed no milk or other dairy products.Further research is necessary to establish whether a reduced consumption of high-glycemic foods (such as soft drinks, sweets, white bread) can significantly alleviate acne, though consumption of high-glycemic foods should in any case be kept to a minimum, for general health reasons. Avoidance of 'junk food' with its high fat and sugar content is also recommended.On the other hand there is no evidence that fat alone makes skin oilier or acne worse.
Vitamins A and E
Studies have shown that newly diagnosed acne patients tend to have lower levels of vitamin A circulating in their bloodstream than those that are acne free.In addition people with severe acne also tend to have lower blood levels of vitamin E.
Sources of Vitamin A
Vitamin A is found naturally in many foods:
- liver (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, fish) (6500 μg 722%)
- carrots (835 μg 93%)
- Broccoli leaves (800 μg 89%) - Acc. to USDA database. Broccoli florets supposedly have much less - see note[9].
- sweet potatoes (709 μg 79%)
- kale (681 μg 76%)
- butter (684 μg 76%)
- spinach (469 μg 52%)
- leafy vegetables
- pumpkin (369 μg 41%)
- collard greens (333 μg 37%)
- cantaloupe melon (169 μg 19%)
- eggs (140 μg 16%)
- apricots (96 μg 11%)
- papaya (55 μg 6%)
- mango (38 μg 4%)
- peas (38 μg 4%)
- broccoli (31 μg 3%)
- winter squash

Food sources of Vitamin E
Particularly high levels of vitamin E can be found in the following foods:
- Wheat germ
- Red Palm Oil
- Corn
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Olives
- Spinach and other green leafy vegetables
- Asparagus
