M.  Eating chocolate causes acne.
F.  Scientists have not found a direct link between chocolate consumption and acne breakouts per se. So, eating a bar of chocolate today won't cause acne to appear on your face tomorrow. What is known, however, is that a poor diet in general can weaken the skin's defenses against ailments such as acne.

M.  Scrubbing the skin vigorously gets rid of acne.
F.  Unfortunately, this mistaken belief can cause acne to get worse. Vigorous scrubbing, especially with harsh ingredients, irritates the skin. Irritation stimulates oil production, redness and swelling – the exact opposite of what is needed.
