I accidentally stumbled in here after jacking around on that snopes hoaxes website for an hour or so.

I just wanted to say, yes, I had severe acne in middle school, highg school, and through my first year of college.

But you know what? Maybe my mom was actually right. Sometimes, you really do grow out of it.

Here I am, mid 20's and only the occasional speck.

Yes, I have scars. Big ones. But I rarely notice them. And no one else really notices them, either.

 

I guess what I really want you to know is it WILL go away. With treatement, a magic "soap" or some other snake oil or maybe like me, just when it's time. And don't rip and scratch and pick at your face. SCARS. Don't ruin your pores with holes and gaping tears in your skin. Leave it alone, wash and treat it, and let your body run its own course.

Sorry but not everyone grows out of it. I am going to be 52 this year and I still break out. Not just the occasional zit but I break out just like I did when I was younger. Explaination? its my body, my genetics and its just me. Elf Rebuttal?

Agreed, not everyone outgrows it. Some may outgrow it at 25 some on the other hand don't.

I'm 17 now, 18 in 2 months. And my Mum said she stopped breaking out at around 18. And my Dad said he was clear at 18-19. And I think genetics are very related, so I'm hoping that I will clear up by the same time...

You may have something very awesome to look forward to hopefully then! :)
