A member asked:
I understand that drinking alcohol can make skin look bad. but can quitting alcohol improve damage that regular drinking may have caused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not: Moderate alcohol intake probably will not adversely affect your skin. There are several types of skin changes associated with alcohol abuse: bruising, increased wrinkles, spider veins, jaundice, rosacea, and skin cancer including melanoma. Jaundice, rosacea, and bruising may improve with abstinence. There are other serious issues with alcohol abuse such as cirrhosis of the liver.
