Does acne only go away when your older?

Sorry this is such a big problem for you, and hope the tablets help. You could always swim in a rash vest if you don't want to expose your back?

Hmmm yeah i guess that sounds like a good idea, ill look them up
It certainly did for me, more so when I began to drink water almost exclusively.

Can't speak for backne tho, never had it.

Are you eating right? You know that everything must be in a complex. That is, medicine, proper care, proper nutrition


Yep i go for runs, do calisthenics. Eat right. But ive been told acne has nothing to do with that sadly.

Unfortunately, some people are just genetically predisposed to getting acne, depending on their skin make up. It may ease as you get older but many adults still get spots. You'll find out eventually what skincare routine suits your skin best.
