Sugar and Acne: Acne is an inflammatory response to bacteria "propionibacterium acnes". Sugar inhibits your immune system, and gives bacteria easy substrates for energy. If you decrease the sugar in your diet. (decrease sugar, processed grains, processed rice, and fried potatoes). For individual lesions oregano oil can help. See your physician for other prescription remedies like Minocycline or azelaic acid.
