Acne caused by dampness and toxins

The human body should eliminate moisture from its body at regular intervals and in regular amounts, because if there is too much moisture in a person's body, it will affect the occurrence of other diseases in the body. Especially for people who live in humid areas for a long time, they should pay more attention to eliminating moisture, and some acne cases are caused by dampness. So how should we treat acne caused by dampness and toxins?
