Late onset acne around 40s especially on jaw and chin is VERY highly suggestive of an hormonal issue, you most definitely need a blood work up
Curd and milk products can precipitate acne but they are "cause" of it, eliminating it won't help

It can be cleared...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it..
