A member asked:

I still get a few pimples here and there. is there a way to make my acne completely go away for good?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not neccessarily: Acne is most common in the teenager and young adult but it can persist for many years. Usually though , with aging , the sebaceous glands atrophy and acne improves. Use topical treatments such as those containing benzoyl peroxide to control your acne.
