Basics: All acne is an individual reflection of genetics & environment. While most consider this a ritual of passage for the teen years for some it will last into their 30's and beyond. Treatment must be individualized to the person after an exam & review of past treatments. Find a dermatologist and develop a daily skin care plan. Any medications must be selected through this process.
