NO link between chocolate intake and warts or acne zits presence ,you will see lots of people eating chocolate with clear faces and you will see people complaining of wart and pimples and not eating chocolate .
Acne and zits are formed when excess sebum are formed and clog pores where there may be infection causing redness and swellings
Warts are small, rounded growths . They can appear on the face, arms or legs hands and sometimes grow in the genital area.
Wart growth is triggered by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is contracted by contact with other person or an infected item like a towel or a surface like a pool deck, . The virus enters the body if it finds a break in the skin.
Both warts and zits can be treated by salicylic acid which is applied in the iquid form to dry the warts it is most desirable wart treatment, based on its effectiveness and safety,the treatment takes 2 to 3 months to see improvement and applied in gel or cream form to treat acne or zits .
