Hey all,

I've had acne since I can remember proberly about since 13 years old , through the years it gradually got worse, worse time was around 16/17 everyday waking up with huge cysts on my face, i'm now 20 nearly 21 and now seem to hardly get any acne at all anymore, this has been happening for the last few weeks, I used to always wake up with atleast one zit, but hardly nothing now?.

Thing is I get really oily skin, yet my face can we really oily but no new spots appear as they used to. My baak acne has also gone to nill yet i'm taking no treatment whatsoever, the only change I made is that i'm eating more healthy, drinking more milk and fruit and doing more weights. Am I finally outgrowing acne at 20? , or is this just a clear period and will come back worse then before? .

ps. Good luck everyone with there ongoing battle with acne, stay strong!.

Hmmm, I have a hard time beliveing it will disapear having it this long seem's weried without it, It's proberly there but just mild now, I hope it does go away i'm fed up with this disease, I used to worry so much over what people thought of me, but I now have a differnt outlook on life, since finding out my dad may have cancer acne is the least of my worries and gave me a kick up the backside and back to reality.

Anyway thanks and good luck man, and don't let it beat you I lost a job over it and tons of other stuff.

I dare to think if I have this disease up and till i'm 30 please no I've suffered enough.

You probobly have out grown it. Use a mild cleanser for oil control. It's mostly hormones for most people anyway, so you just aged out of it.
