do you guys find milk makes you break out?

my dad always says to me have i been drinking milk as he says i break out, i personnaly dont notice it. but when i give up milk the spots on my arms and neck get better. anyone else find this?
 
It may agrivate it, since milk promotes Candida (a yeast growing in the intestines), which promotes acne breakouts. But, it can't cause them overnight, since pimples take 4 weeks to form at the epidermis.
 
I cut out all dairy products 6 months ago and its the best thing i have ever done for my skin, after suffering from acne since i was 15 (i'm 23 now). My skin is almost completely clear now, and i don't even miss dairy.

I don't think it is the case for everyone, not for a minute, but certainly some acne can be aggravated by a dairy intolerance. If i were you id cut it out just for a few weeks and see if you notice an improvement.
 
it takes 4 weeks to form, is that why it takes a couple of weeks for treatments to work due to the pimples are already forming while you start treatment?
 
You may want to try switching to organic milk. Sometimes it's not the milk itself that makes us break out but the hormones they give the cows that are passed on to us when we drink the milk. But if you are sensitive to dairy products in general, you may have to give up all dairy products -- but it would be worth it not to have to deal with acne.
 
ye i do see an improvement when i gave it up before, but im planning on doing it a while now.
 
i never considered milk to cause or effect acne , i drink alot of the stuff. i'm going to cut down too and see if there is any improvements:yawn: its getting late.
 
yeah. i have heard that before.
i saw on the internet to try soy milk, so i bought some.
i couldnt bring myself to drink it. hahaha. it was brown. im trying to cut down on it
