Q. Please put the question of whether milk of magnesia works on acne to rest. I had developed such severe acne on my buttocks that my dermatologist said, “Well, no one sees your behind.”
A daily application of MoM after my morning shower, allowing it to dry somewhat before dressing, has cleared up the problem by 99 percent. I have started using the generic type and notice no difference in effectiveness.
A. We have heard from many people who have found milk of magnesia (MoM) helpful against facial blemishes. Like you, they applied it to clean skin and allowed it to dry.
