The most important factors are: increased serum, ductal epidermal hyperproliferation, Propionibacterium acnes colonization, inflammation, hormonal and genetic disturbances. Immune abnormalities, hyperreactivity of pilosebaceous follicle, psychological, physical and iatrogenic factors can also take part in acne pathogenesis. Recent literature has implicated the dietary glycemic index, glycemic load, milk and dairy consumption and androgen sebocyte stimulation as having a potential acne-inducing effect. Key words: milk, insulin, acne, diet |
