Nope: As much as your parents would want you to believe differently, your acne is more hormonal than anything. The oil in your skin harbors bacteria which causes the small red pustules we call pimples. Keep your skin clean and see your doctor for treatment options.

Agree with Dr. C: Even though sweets do not cause acne, it would be prudent to limit your intake of sugars/sweets. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
