Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Cow's milk may increase the risk of developing acne. There are no studies that have found that products made from milk, i.e., cheese or yogurt, lead to an increase in breakouts.

Milk and acne is a common concern, especially during teenage years. Here's what you should know:
-
Milk and Acne Link: Some studies suggest that consuming milk, especially skim milk, might be associated with an increase in acne in some teenagers. This is thought to be due to hormones and bioactive molecules in milk that can influence oil production in the skin.
-
Not Everyone is Affected: However, milk does not cause acne in everyone. Acne is influenced by many factors including genetics, hormones, skin care, and diet.
-
What You Can Do: If you notice your acne worsens after drinking milk, you might try reducing or avoiding it for a few weeks to see if your skin improves.
-
Consult a Dermatologist: For persistent or severe acne, it's best to consult a dermatologist who can provide personalized advice and treatment options.
Remember, acne is very common in teenagers and can be managed effectively with the right care and guidance.

I've used Dettol on my skin, and now the area around it has darkened. Is this something that will go away on its own? It's also causing some irritation. What should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a skin reaction to the Dettol. To help with the irritation and darkening of the skin, you can try using a mild steroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% cream. Apply a thin layer on the affected area twice a day for up to 7 days. Additionally, you can use a soothing moisturizer like Cetaphil to help hydrate the skin. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
