A member asked:

I have problems with acne. at what age are they supposed to go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Adult acne: Most people with acne during their teenage years find that the acne goes away during their twenties, but some people have acne well into their thirties, forties, or even fifties. Reduce your intake of simple carbohydrates and dairy products, apply a benzoyl peroxide cream daily, and see a dermatologist for additional treatment recommendations.
