Acne may leave more than just physical scars: Part 3

Almost everyone develops some case of acne during their lifetimes. The American Academy of Dermatology states that close to 100% of individuals in the 12–17 age bracket may have instances of whitehead, blackhead, or pimple developments. Almost fourty percent of individuals in their middle teens have a severe enough case of acne that treatment by a physician is necessary. Even though most acne instances clear up by an person’s early twenties, some people may have continuing acne problems for decades. Therefore it is important to apply prudent skin care acne prevention measures before the acne has a chance to truly breakout.
