Could eating more fruits help with face and body acne?

No: Please forgive my frankness. Acne is a serious, chronic disease that must be managed scientifically until it self-cures. Acne on the trunk usually requires a combination of topical (maybe benzoyl peroxide) and a prescription systemic agent (maybe tetracycline). Whether the question is about you or a teen under your care, you have a duty to get treated scientifically.
