Acne

Acne is a skin condition characterised by numerous red inflamed spots.

The spots are caused by the hormone testosterone, which tells the glands in your skin to produce oil. When too much oil is produced, pores in the skin fill up with oil, bacteria and dead cells which results in the formation of a spot.

Some people believe that consumption of milk and dairy contributes to the development and severity of spots and acne however no definitive evidence exists to support this myth.
