Abstract in brief

The study investigated the link between dairy intake, especially skim milk, and acne in teenage boys, finding that higher skim milk consumption was associated with increased acne.
The research used questionnaires from 1996 to 1998, and acne was self-reported in 1999, with adjustments made for age, height, and energy intake, but some factors like steroid use were not considered.
The results suggest that skim milk may contain hormones or factors that affect the body's hormonal balance, potentially contributing to acne development in teens.]
