A member asked:
Im 16, my skin tends to get patchy and has breakouts, is this because im in my teenage years, will my skin improve and calm down in future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will calm down: Yes, your skin will get better than what you go through in your teen and early adult years. However, you don't need to live this way. Many primary care doctors and certainly any dermatologist can help you get your current problems under control. Also, starting a good skin routine at your age can produce lifelong positive results.
