Get it treated: Some people get it, some people don't. It is a non-lifestyle-related, non-hygiene-related, chronic, serious disease. If it has flared during adult life, get with a competent physician now. If you are a teen, try topical benzoyl peroxide 5% 2x/day. If you are not clear in two weeks, your physician can give you prescription-strength medicine. Use it and you illness can be managed until it remits.
