Acne: Yes it is common to get acne at your age. It may or may not be gone in a year or two. Acne is not related to the food you eat so dont deny yourself.See your doctor for medication which is readily available.

Serious Rx: You're almost a grown man and good self-care is a must. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician for prescription-strength added rx until it self-cures. You list enjoying your body as a medical condition; it is not a health issue but a way of staying comfortable and learning in preparation for adult roles. Be a man and take charge.
