I went to see a doctor about my body acne and he said it would clear up when I'm 18. I don't believe him since 20-30 year olds walk around with pimples on their face. I don't know if they're the same thing though.
Will it clear up or is it on me for life?

I think it is an individual thing, many times it does clear up when your hormones balance out at around 18 or 19 years of age. But my son had cystic acne on his back into his mid twenties, and the only thing that cleared it up for him was accutane. But beware, accutane does damage the liver. If you take it, you can never again use Tylenol or drink alcohol as both are metabolized in the liver, and using either will cause considerable pain.

No, it does not clear up around 18! It depends on whether treatment was given and individual body changes and the cause of acne.

According reasearch many anti-acne products are known to worsen rosacea symptoms. Medical experts strongly urge rosacea sufferers to stop using these products.
Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects many Americans, but it can also spread to the eyes and cause a constant gritty, burning sensation.
I have been in search a product that works on my skin, I finally found it on one of acne rosacea review site. I use ZENMED Skin Support System - Dry Skin, and I saw
results in weeks! I recommend it to anyone who has suffered through various dermatologist prescribed ZENMED Skin Support System - Cheers

It's not on you for life. I didn't get acne until I turned 22. I would recommend Aveeno Clear Complexion products.

most teenagers have acnes some age..do not play with them or touch them..spicy food also cause acnes..maybe your doctors told you there are some special soaps for acnes you may want to wash yourself with them...yes, they usually dissappear when people grow up..
