If pork is making you break out with hives it's often as sign of you having a pork allergy.
Or if the pork is making you break out with acne or other skin issues it could be due to the hormones and antibiotics in pork that can disrupt your body's natural hormone balance and lead to increased sebum production and acne.
saturated fats in pork can also lead to inflammation and exacerbate acne by increasing oil production and potentially clogging your pores.
Pork also contains leucine which is an amino acid which can stimulate your skin's oil glands and potentially lead to increased sebum production and acne breakouts as well.
The symptoms of a pork allergy are stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and hives.
If you have a pork allergy you may or may not have all these symptoms but stomach cramps and often diarrhea or nausea are more common.
