A member asked:
Could acne be an allergic reaction to something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It has been well established now that acne is not caused or aggravated by food or environmental allergies. Treatment by a dermatologist can be very effective. Don't waste time looking for allergies in the treatment of acne.
