I noticed that on myself, high concentrations of sugar or high density carbs (pasta and bread) make it surge.
A couple of friends of mine also cured a candida infection by avoiding carbs. So our diet might play a role.

Eating a large bar of dark chocolate should differentiate, purely in the interests of science of course.
Also, I would add that most processed dairy (besides just plain old milk) is mixed with many other detrimental ingredients. So there may be a cause/effect relationship overlap with other foods.
Out of curiosity, does chocolate have any other effects on you besides the acne? Like easier bleeding/blood thinning? Or other inflammation besides acne? It has more than one effect on me and I surely can't be the only one observing it.
I consume chocolate in the evening and do sometimes clear walking tracks before breakfast, which often involves scratches. So I would expect to have noticed wounds bleeding for longer than usual.
The surplus sugar serves as a substrate to allow candida to thrive, not to mention a myriad of other maladies.
After that you'll have monthly sessions where they unclog all your pores(called extractions) and remove white heads afte that Peels for the hyper pigmentation.
You'll be prescribed benzoyl perioxide and mandelic serum for acne and hyperpigmentation.
After a few sessions all your pores are clean and tight and bam almost no more acne.
The peels and mandelic serum worked wonders for my hyper pigmentation.
If you are in the bay area I can give you the address of the clinic I go to.
They also say that antibiotic solutions are a "myth", which is patently false.
The thing is food does not directly cause acne. The logic is pretty simple actually. Acne causing bacteria grow in blocked pores and greasy food and dairy makes me super oily . More sebum more blocked pores aaand more acne.
Source? Because no, it's not.
There's also no evidence that greasy food increases sebum production.
You're buying into a bunch of snake oil.
