According to my family doctor when I was a teen, there are two reasons chocolate causes pimples. The first seemed a little silly to me but I can see why it would happen... If you eat chocolate, especially messy melty milk chocolate and then touch your face without washing your hands, the milk fat will get into your pores and clog them, causing pimples.
The second was allergies. If eating chocolate makes a person's acne flare up it is very likely they are allergic to it and the acne is more of an allergic reaction than actual real acne.
At least that's what I was told. And I've never had any trouble with acne, chocolate related or otherwise. And I eat a lot of chocolate.

I also don't think so, i have eaten chocolates but it did not cause me pimples though i used to have a lot. I think that sleeping late will cause you to have, plus so much stress/pressure on something.

Eating chocolate didn't used to give me spots, but it does now - maybe it's more likely as you get older. I've also started getting mouth ulcers if I eat too much chocolate.
