Question 1

does soy milk cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Acne: Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.These factors can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne, hormones, medications, and a diet with a lot of dairy and carbohydrate-rich foods.You can also prevent new acne breakouts with self-care measures by washing your skin with a gentle cleanser and avoiding touching or picking acne.

Question 2

is it true that peanut butter and milk cause acne?

Accepted Answer

No:  The dietary contribution to acne incidence is an issue oversold for years.  A few may have an individual reaction to any dietary substance. For most it is a myth.

Question 3

can a whole grain bread that's made with nofat milk and eggs cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Not really: Acne is caused by a confluence of hormonal activity (increasing oil production) & skin bacteria infecting oil glands. Certain foods have been thought to exacerbate acne, but really it's all about decreasing bacteria and oil production.

Question 4

i'm 41 with acne. it's mostly hormonal, but i noticed it gets really bad when i have a lot of milk in my diet. can milk cause breakouts?

Accepted Answer

Try limiting : More than five servings of dairy (milk, cheese, ice cream, yogurt, etc.) may increase acne breakouts in some women. Try to control your dairy intake for a few weeks and see if the acne improves.

Question 5

can a milk allergy cause acne?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: Depending on how old someone is, a true milk allergy can cause eczema-like rash, bloody diarrhea, hives, vomiting, difficulty breathing, facial swelling, cough, wheeze, abdominal pain, lip swelling, etc. Acne in young infants is due to leftover maternal hormones, and acne in preteens, teen, and young adults is due to puberty related changes in hormone levels and skin. Your doctor can see what's needed.

Question 6

is it possible for drinking chocolate milk a lot to cause acne breakouts?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to be pbm: The link between any food item and acne is not supported by current research.Allergic breakouts producing hives have nothing in common with acne.In the past, many myths arose about fat in foods or other items, but again it is all myth.

Question 7

can almond milk cause acne in someone who  became a vegan 90 days ago and now only drinks almond milk instead of skim? she never had much acne before.

Accepted Answer

Possible.: I have had patients who break out when they drink almond milk. It's rare, but it does happen. If the brand you are drinking is sweetened, or has additives, that increases the chances. Try an unsweetened one without any additives (or make it yourself). If you still break out, you may have to switch to soy milk; or the cause may be something else entirely, such as another component of your new diet.

Question 8

can high prolactene (milk hormone)hormone cause acne/pimples?

Accepted Answer

Acne: No.  These hormones are not associated with acne.

Question 9

tea mixed with milk, is it bad for skin health and does it cause acne or dull skin if yu drink two cups a day?

Accepted Answer

No: I can not think of any reason that tea with or without milk can cause acne problems. Acne is usually the result of hormonal changes, especially during adolescence, but even into adulthood.

Question 10

cow's milk causes acne me ( i stopped drink) but buttermilk not (from a milkman near to me ) . can you explain why ??  and can i take goat yogurt ??

Accepted Answer

Milk acne: Goat's milk or yogurt is different from Cow's milk so it is possible that you can use it without the sensitivity that you get from the cow's milk. If it is true acne, that is not an allergic reaction, but a sensitivity.
