How to cure acne? is changing the way you eat like trying to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and water a good idea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not curable, but...: Acne is a cruel disease and this is compounded by telling victims it's from "bad diet" or other lifestyle issues. The link to dairy is a minor factor; others even less so. If 5% topical benzoyl peroxide 2x/day hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength meds. Fruits ; veggies are helpful for other reasons.
