A member asked:
Please help! what should i do to eliminate or include in my diet to clear my acne quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet isn't answer: Acne is a non-lifestyle-related, chronic disease that must be managed until it self-cures. You may try eliminating dairy, but you won't clear you acne until you use evidence-based medication. If topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength treatment.
