Does drinking milk cause acne? Because I was suffering from acne and those acne left scars for which I am being treated with dermaroller. I have heard many saying that drinking milk causes cystic acne and those causes scars again. I have stopped drinking milk from 3 days and have seen a decrease in pimple forming. Please help. Thank You.

Hello Qadir, Glad to know that you are co relating your acne with your diet which shows that you have partially detected the cause of your problem. However you can make ample of changes in your diet alone which can help you to stay away from acne. Have lots of water and green tea Have lots of fruits and vegetables Avoid milk and milk products and also avoid tea coffee and alcohol. If you are determined there can be lot of changes in your lifestyle and diet which can help you which can be best known after meeting up an expert. Please go forward with dermaroller treatment only if you are sure of not getting any active acnes. Hope this helps...: )
