A member asked:
Do diet sodas contribute to acne? this is my only vice. 23yrs old, eat healthy and exercise regularly, been on erythromycin 2/52.

No: Diet has basically nothing to do with acne. The strongest link is with dairy and even this is soft. No one understands why one person gets it and the next person doesn't. Your acne regimen is a good one but if it's not sufficient, there are other rx's -- topical spironolactone's often overlooked. Go enjoy your diet soda and ignore anyone who criticizes you for it.
