I have severe Acne and my dermatologist is going to put me on Isotretinoin.  
She also recommended that I should limit sugar and dairy (A big part of my daily protein comes from milk).  
Should I stop drinking milk?

I think you should follow your dermatologist’s recommendations. Fortunately, there are many suitable replacements for protein from dairy.
