Not necessarily: If you have been struggling with acne for this duration of 7 years, I would not expect it to go away naturally. You are definitely correct in that there is an inherited aspect of this, but definitely pursue treatment if you are bothered by your skin's condition. There are so many treatments we could pursue!

Acne: As you age the causes of teenage acne abate and your acne will leave. But, not everyone so if problem continues a healthcare provider or dermatologist can help.
