Acne refers to acne, a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the sebaceous gland units of hair follicles, which can affect people of all ages, with a high incidence in adolescents. Drinking alcohol does not cause acne, but it can aggravate the condition. Acne is associated with heredity, androgen-induced sebum secretion, keratinization of follicular sebaceous gland ducts, propagation of Propionibacterium acnes, and immune-inflammatory responses. In some patients, the onset of acne is also affected by genetic, immune, endocrine, emotional and dietary factors. And drinking alcohol is not going to cause acne, but it will aggravate the condition. In addition, it is important to note that when medication is being used to treat acne, drinking alcohol can affect the efficacy of the medication or even lead to adverse reactions. Acne sufferers should avoid alcohol and seek medical treatment promptly.
