No: Pop ideas about diet and acne haven't done well when tested scientifically. I'd urge you to get your acne treated scientifically; your physician knows how to make it disappear. This is the 21st century and you owe it to yourself to take advantage of what's available. Perhaps your statement about your diet is hyperbole, but think about balancing it better for yourself. Thanks for visiting.
