Accepted Answer

Usually by mid-20's: As you proceed through the next few years, you are likely to have less acne. You can get only some benefit from benzoyl peroxide. If acne is an issue, see a dermatologist for prescriptions. Acne is not your fault. It is not a matter of stress, hygiene, or diet. Some men have significant acne well into adult years, but most have little acne after early to mid-20's.

Question 5

how can you slow down/stop acne?

Accepted Answer

Scientific Rx: Start with topical benzoyl peroxide.If this fails, a physician's office visit. A topical antibiotic such as Clindamycin and/or a topical retinoic acid derivative is a good next step. The oral contraceptive pill will often end acne for a lady who can take it. A systemic antibiotic appropriate for the person is often necessary especially for disease on the trunk. Accutane for hard cases.

Question 6

could a acne pill stop your growth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Isotretinoin is believed to be capable of stopping the growth of long bones if the patient has not achieved his/her full height. This is something to consider in prescribing it. Most acne can be managed either with topical benzoyl peroxide alone, or if more severe or on the trunk, adding a second rx such as systemic tetracycline or any of several others that won't stop growth.

Question 9

how can you stop getting acne from shaving?

Accepted Answer

Is it acne?: There's a folliculitis syndrome that affects the beard, especially a teen's new beard, that is easily mistaken for acne. If you really have acne, just get decent medical treatment (benzoyl peroxide and if needed a physician's rx) and you can shave fine.

Question 10

is it possible to stop acne once and for all?

Accepted Answer

Finishing off Acne: Acne is one of those tough problems.  You find something that works and then 6 months or year later it comes back.  Sometimes teenagers will 'grow out' of it, but some people are plagued until middle age or older.  There is no sure way to get rid of it once and for all.  There is a lot of research going on in the area of pdt (photo-dynamic therapy) for long term improvement, the future will tell.
