Skin Exacerbation of Woman's Acne!
I was doing questions and in the stem they were describing a woman with acne and erythematous papules and pustules on the forehead and asked what exacerbates it:
allergic reaction to road construction (the woman works in road constructions)
allergy to family pet
chocolate consumption
sun exposure
vegetarian diet
wearing a helmet

which one is it?!

I was stuck at this one too! Well, I went with "chocolate consumption" as they mentioned it was excessive. What does your gut tell you?

Cool sun exposure
sun exposure would exacerbate in case she has SLE, are u sure these are the only info in the question,
co-adminstration of certain drugs like ( spironolactone or tetracyclins) with sun exposure could result in this......
that's my wild guess

Question Acne Mechanica?
According to the extensive feedback form that I took, chocolate consumption is incorrect. Take a look at this topic on Acne mechanica; a form of acne that can be worsened by repetitive friction on the skin:
