A bad diet causes acne?
We know what causes acne.
It's a mixture of a lot of different things including genetics, hormones, bacteria and skincare. But there is an awful lot, particularly on social media, about diet and acne.
There is a small amount of evidence that things like processed sugars and dairy can trigger acne flares.
However cutting these out of your diet isn't going to cure acne. So therefore, if you are suffering with acne, my advice is to go and seek treatment from a consultant dermatologist.
If you are suffering from a skin condition and need support from an award-winning and highly respected Consultant Dermatologist, book an appointment today at Dr Veraitch's London Clinic.
