My son has found that when he eats a lot of sugary foods, he has skin eruptions, similar to boils that are hard to get rid of. When he stops eating the sugary foods, the problem stops. Any one know what is going on?
Answer:Sugar is the fuel which feeds spots/boils/infections, if it is causing him to have boil-like eruptions I would say take him to the doctor and let the doctor examine him and do some tests! He may have a problem with metabolising the sugar (eg diabetes).
If they aren't pimples, sounds like perhaps some sort of allergic reaction.
