Can people with acne drink milk?

Acne is a condition caused by excessive sebum secretion from one's own sebaceous glands, consumption of spicy and stimulating foods, or frequent staying up late, leading to skin surface infection by Propionibacterium acnes. This disease has no direct correlation with drinking milk, so it is generally acceptable to drink milk. It is mainly important to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, such as lamb, seafood, chili peppers, garlic, alcohol, and tobacco. Additionally, one should avoid staying up late, anxiety, tension, and poor mood, as these can affect the endocrine system and exacerbate the disease. After recovery from the condition, it is essential to maintain a long-term standard in diet and lifestyle habits, strengthen exercise to boost immunity, avoid random use of cosmetics, and use both oral and topical medications prescribed by a dermatology department in a legitimate hospital. The combination with red and blue light therapy can yield faster results.

The main causes of acne formation

Acne is primarily caused by excessive secretion from one's own sebaceous glands. There are various reasons for this excessive secretion, such as genetic constitution and dietary preferences for spicy, fried, or sweet foods. Frequent staying up late, anxiety, tension, or mood disturbances can also lead to this condition. Some women may experience acne related to menstrual disorders or hormonal imbalances. Once acne is noticed, it is best to seek proper medical treatment and avoid squeezing or picking with hands to prevent scarring or pockmarks. Besides medical treatment, it is essential to maintain a long-term diet avoidance, regulate eating habits, exercise regularly to boost immunity, sweat more, and possibly take medications that reduce sebaceous gland secretion.

Can acne be cured completely?

Acne is associated with vigorous sebaceous gland secretion, consumption of spicy and irritating foods, frequent staying up late, familial genetics, or excessive secretion of androgens in the body. Therefore, at present, there is no way to completely cure this condition; it can only be controlled or reduced in terms of outbreaks. One can take oral and topical anti-inflammatory medications, and combine these with red and blue light therapy at a dermatology clinic of a formal hospital, which might speed up the effects. If the cystic acne symptoms are severe, one can use traditional Chinese medicine techniques like acupuncture point bloodletting for treatment. This illness has strong recurrence after healing, so it is essential to standardize one's diet and lifestyle habits, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, refrain from staying up late, and avoid stress and anxiety. It is also advisable to avoid using cosmetics indiscriminately. After recovery, it is important to continue with physical exercise.
