Does Bacteria Cause Acne?

The truth is that while antibiotics are meant to kill bacteria that will harm your system, cause infections, cause illness, etc, it is only about 1% of bacteria that is actually harmful to the body and skin.  The rest is either good and necessary to life or it is neutral.  When you take an antibiotic, even for acne, you are actually killing off good bacteria while leaving a little bit of the bad bacteria which eventually turns into super bacteria.  And for this reason, you could cause serious health problems or otherwise by killing off bacteria when you don’t actually need to.  And this is also why yogurt could be considered one of the ultimate acne foods. 

Yogurt, no matter the flavor or kind has good bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus, which actually balances out the digestive system to help you better process and even absorb nutrients among other things.  It can fight against bad bacteria in some ways in and of itself, and of course if you watch Grey’s Anatomy, you find that not taking unnecessary antibiotics and having the good bacteria will prevent you from having to undergo a fecal transplant.  But as far as all the elements, I found that unless you have an allergy to milk, it will help with some cases of acne to reduce the inflammation and pain among other things.
