A member asked:
Can your diet affect how much acne you have or is it all hormones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet does little: Despite "pop" ideas, diet has little or no impact on acne. I was surprised, too, but the scientific work is consistent. All acne is manageable with today's medications. If you have asked here, it's time you get treated effectively. Please get with your physician.
