I knew this years ago from my own experience. You know what though, try nonfat milk and you'll be ok. Stay away from whole milk. 2% and 1% still can cause mild acne, but nonfat is the way to go. &...

Hey, Portlandboy.. In your last post you said "the pre-dermabrasion pic is a photoshopped one." What do you mean by that? Do you mean the scars were brushed off? If not, doesn't look like you have...
