A member asked:

Does consuming hard water cause acne..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Life is difficult enough without people promoting this kind of superstition. Acne is a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related disease that's always manged though often requiring prescription-strength treatment. Get with your physician if you need help.
