 Is acne just for teenagers?  Will you grow out of it?

[medboy]

 This is actually a myth which can be harmful since teenagers would tend to “wait it out” instead of actually seeking help for their acne.  This may result in a severe case of acne and scarring which can eventually lead to low self-esteem.  This myth also affects adults who are suffering from acne as they may be too embarrassed to seek treatment wondering why they still have acne at this stage and if they are doing something wrong in handling it.  Fact is, acne can hit you at any age and although it is treatable, the course and duration of the treatment varies for each person.
