When should I stop getting zits?!


Question:

When should I stop getting zits?

I am 16 and I am starting to get zits on my face. Up to this point in my life I only would get one or two. I am starting to shave so it could be from that. When should I stop getting zits? Is there a certain age?


Answers:

For most people, it stops in the late teens or early twenties. For some people (like the people in my family), it never stops.

If it's bothering you, talk to your doctor. These days, there is no reason to suffer through acne. There are lots of great treatments. I take a pill every morning and my skin is healthy and clear (I'm 28, by the way, and have had severe acne since I was 12). I only wish I'd started treatment earlier. I could have prevented a couple of yucky scars on my cheek.
