The Truth About How Dairy Is Affecting Your Skin

If you suffer from a skin condition, such as rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, your yogurt addiction may be the problem.

"Even with the slightest immune response comes inflammation, and often, we can see internal inflammation show up on the skin," Dr. Lipman noted. "This may result in something as short term as a rash or hives, to a more chronic skin reaction such as rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. When inflammation is present, regardless of the diagnosis, the inflammatory trigger needs to be eliminated. Because dairy has an inflammatory effect on most people, removing dairy is often a necessary step to take in both healing skin irritations and preventing them."
