This is one question which many acne sufferers have in mind. Amongst various factors that are responsible for acne breakouts, milk is adding on to the list. Milk is a cause of acne in various ways.

Milk has a high percentage of male hormones which are better known as androgens. These androgens are known to send the sebaceous glands in an overdrive mode which in turn secret sebum in large quantities and results in associated acne breakouts. Milk also raises the insulin levels in the body which can in turn trigger acne flare ups.

So now that you know the effects of milk on acne, it is suggested to limit the consumption of milk while you are nursing your acne condition. Or you can try to go in for a trial period as it is not necessary that milk will always have adverse effects on your acne.
