Acne: No, but it certainly can happen that way. There are patients who don't have any acne problems for their entire lives and as they get older, they start having problems. If you have a hard time controlling it with routine measures, you may need to see a dermatologist.

Often: It can worsen. It is a hormonal thing when it does worsen. It is important for good hygeine and skin care products. You might want to see someone for medication if it is really bad.
