Severe acne on consuming milk, hair gets clogged with sebum is it because of the casein in it, i want to know whether i can take whey protein, can i cure?

Milk causing acne: There's no definite link between dairy and acne, but there are theories about it. Some of these theories include: milk contains components related to the hormone testosterone that may stimulate oil glands in the skin, setting the stage for acne.Replace the calcium that you would normally get from dairy by eating other foods such as calcium-rich leafy greens, broccoli, and sardines.
