Hi, I'm an 18 year old male, and up until a year ago, I had flawless skin. Acne was an issue, that I never imagined I'd have to deal with. I have a simple question about Dairy. My diet, has never really been healthy, but it's never really been unhealthy either, and milk, up until a year ago, did nothing but make me happy. I've read many internet threads about how avoiding milk can significantly clear your skin and that understanding the inner issue and the personal problems inside your body that are causing acne, is better than plastering your face in products.

Is it unlikely that dairy is my problem, if it never caused any issues for 17 years of my life? Has anybody else led a similar life to me. I've been eliminating cures by looking back at my life before I started getting acne, for example: I rather regularly consumed dairy every day, in tea, breakfast and other food products for 17 years of my life, and I never suffered acne problems, but now, I'm plagued with it.

Could dairy be the answer now? In fact, I used to be terribly uneducated and I used awfully comedogenic moisturisers most of my life, and products and food never caused my acne for years. So what could be the issue now? I only get it around my cheeks, chin and nose.
