Only diet is not enough to treat acne. The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,

Brown rice is definitely better than white rice though it might take some time to adapt to its taste. Intake of refined carbohydrates like white rice, all purpose flour, sugar are linked to increase in breakouts of acne and shifting to brown rice would be surely helpful.
I believe you understand that it is one of the things you can do, it may not stop acne totally but considering the other health benefits, its definitely worth it.
