OMG DO NOT EVER TAKE ANTIBIOTICS FOR ACNE...I did and when i got off...my acne went from moderate to REALLY bad...I got it back in check when i did chinese medicine (teas) and it got slightly better...but also they told me to stay away from red meat, dairy, sweets...so i stayed away but not completely...my acne improved...THEN i went on stupid south beach w tons of cheese and broke out in severe acne...now im on eat to live diet...which is high nutrient (lots of greens and beans) and low fat..and im almost clear...the best ive been in YEARS...i believe dairy had the worse effect on me
