Does Acne go away as people grew older?

Question

i will be turning 21 in september....

Answer 1

In most people yes,some have a problem with it all there life

Answer 2

Not necessarily. For some people, it just naturally goes away. Others only develop acne when they are well into their 30s, 40s, even 50s. It really all depends on the person, their family history, and their skin type. Do you have bad acne? Even if it goes away on its own, for you, if your acne is really bad right now it could cause scarring. Scarring does NOT go away. You have to really watch out for that. How bad is your acne?

I don't have bad acne but I do have very oily skin. So does my father, so it's hereditary. To prevent outbreaks I use Proactiv. It seems to work quite well. Well, it was working perfectly until I went back on my Ritalin. First time I took Ritalin I had a horrible skin reaction to it and had to run to the drug store in a panic to get samples of expensive cremes (Avene Eau Thermale) to soothe my skin. Now I'm just getting more pimples.

Oh well.

Yeah, so, like I said, it all depends on the person, family history, and any medications they/you are taking. Do you take any medication on a regular basis? I'm on so much I don't know what's what anymore.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 4

For most people, acne is a teen-age condition. As one gets into their 20's, the hormonal influences stabilize and the acne lessens, then ceases.

Unfortunately, this is not true for some persons who continue to have acne problems into their thirties and forties.

Factors causing acne are several, including heredity, hormones, and hygiene. Experts are still debating the role of diet, although many think it negligible. Acne is treatable with a variety of topical and systemic medications. Anyone who is developing cysts and scarring should consult a dermatologist.

Answer 5

Acne is due to hormonal changes ,bad diet and unhealthy skin care habits . Sometimes, dandruff in the hair can also cause acne. Include green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Drink a lot of water regularly to flush out toxins. Avoid deep fried snacks.More home remedies available at http://www.wellnesstalk.org/acne.html...

Answer 6

Same as AlleyCat. I'm 25 now and was always told it would go away. Not even Accutane took it away for me. For a lot of people though it does, you might be one of the lucky few. In the mean time I'm still waiting 'to grow over it'

Answer 7

Usually but often steriods are used to calm it down. My hayfever is supposed to go away like acne does. I'm now 24, i've only had one bad attack in March hopefully that's it. Last year it was all spring/summer/autumn

Answer 8

No.....unfortunately. I am much older and still get acne. Just make cleaning your face a habit you keep for the rest of your life.

Answer 9

Pimples can go away when you get older, but you had to take care of your face when you were a teen and the will most likely go away. If you dont take care of your face when your a tenn you will proubally have pimples when your older.
