Does anyone notice the stark lack of black people on acne.org? Even in the real world I almost never see many black people with bad acne, well at least not severely manifested as it does in whites. Are blacks just not acne prone?

I believe alot of black people have acne, but you can't tell as much because their skin is dark

Ive seen a few, but they mainly had hyperpigmentation than acne. In all honesty the contrast of the redness of the pimple on white skin makes it stand out more, so maybe its just because its more obvious on white skin.

Im japanese, and in japan not many people i know have acne. When i moved here people tell me that eastern asians were meant to have good skin and that i fail as i have acne :/

Aw you don't fail. Don't listen to them. Acne affects all kinds of people unfortunately.

I think whites and Hispanics tend to be the most prone to really severe inflammatory types of acne to be honest. Any black person I've ever seen with acne had a milder type that looked as though it was non inflammatory pretty much, granted I'm sure there are exceptions.

Hi!

Black girl here with acne!

But I do think it's true that black people are less acne-prone. Mostof my relatives have flawlessssss dark skin.It's so annoying:P
