It happens: At least 10 % of young adults will have some issues with acne up until middle age. (Late 30's and early 40's) You need to work with your PCP or Dermatologist and come up with a consistent daily routine of skin care and stick with it. You don't cure acne, you learn to manage it until it quits.My sister went through the same in her 30's.
