How will I know whether I will outgrow my acne or not? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

Your acne appears active and moderately severe with evidence that some scarring is occurring due to suboptimal control.

While acne tends to settle by the mid-20’s, no one can accurately predict when an individual will outgrow his/her acne. In fact 10-15% of adults continue to have active acne way into their adult years.

In order to minimize acne scars from occurring, it is most important to get effective medical treatment for active acne at any age rather than wait to outgrow the acne.

Hope this helps!
