People who get pimples: Have you ever cut dairy out of your diet to prevent pimples?

yeah, i did, and it worked a little.. i think it's because i'm on an antibiotic to reduce my acne, and the calcium in dairy interferes with the antibiotic.. it's up to you :) my dermatologist says that what you eat generally has nothing to do with your skin.. but i think it varies for each person. maybe you should try it for a week and see if it helps? :o EDIT: if you wanna know what worked for me, here's what i did to (almost) completely clear my acne: 1. go to the dermatologist: this is what made the most difference for me... dermatologists are able to determine the problem behind your acne, and find a cure for it. if you don't have the money or insurance for a dermatologist, just research online and see what helps.. 2. use a mild cleanser (something that does not contain acne medication), and sometimes exfoliate. over-exfoliating, or over-cleansing can actually add to the problem! 3. use a non-comedogenic lotion 4. if you see a pimple forming, apply antibiotic to it before bed :) it can make a huge difference 5. if you're a girl, consider birth control pills.. they can make a HUGE difference for some girls.

My dear friend,avoid non vegetarian food and drink bottle gourd juice or cucumber juice. or eat cucumber as salad and bottle gourd after cooking it.

It actually doesn't help, I've read surveys about it. I have a soluton for acne but the answer is too long so I blogged it on my website.
