What actually causes acne and how do I get rid of it?
I'm 22 and still dealing with acne. I wash my face twice a day and tried every drugstore product. Does diet affect acne — my dermatologist says no but people online say dairy causes breakouts. What about Accutane — is it really as dangerous as people say? I'm so tired of dealing with this.

Be careful trusting health advice you find on the internet, including mine. There's a LOT of junk out there — supplement companies and diet gurus trying to sell you something. WebMD is decent for general info but it can't replace an actual doctor.

The boring stuff actually works: get enough sleep, drink water, move your body every day, eat more vegetables, don't smoke. There's no magic pill. The companies selling magic pills are the ones making money off people wanting an easy answer.
I'm not a doctor and you should definitely talk to your physician about this. That said, the general medical consensus seems to be that moderation is key. Most health concerns come from extremes in either direction.
