Does drinking cool water cure acne?

Reply:

When the body has frequent boils, the patient should go to the doctor to determine the exact cause. In these cases, in addition to clinical examination, the doctor also takes the medical history and orders the necessary tests. Specifically, such as blood sugar testing, asking whether the patient is taking antibiotics or long-term corticosteroids. Arbitrary use of antibiotics or long-term corticosteroids will reduce the body's resistance to bacteria, making the patient more susceptible to boils. Having an autoimmune disease also makes the patient more susceptible to boils.

Accordingly, depending on the cause, the doctor will prescribe appropriate treatment. Do not assume that acne is caused by internal heat. Drinking cool water to cool down does not help treat the root cause of acne.
