I'm a 22 year old male and still have acne. It's embarrassing since the majority of people at my university don't have to deal with it. Is it normal to still have it at this age?
Oh and I eat a healthy diet, have good hygiene and regularly exercise (before any dickheads claim otherwise).
Yes it is. I am close to 30 and still get it. It's horribly embarrassing. Its to do with your hormone levels. My brother still gets it and he is over 25 with excellent hygiene and fitness levels.
Look at your diet. Usually it's something like meat, an sometimes veggies, that are grown with hormones to make them get bigger faster. Try to go organic and see if that helps.
It is perfectly normal. It has nothing to do with the food you eat and very little to do with hygiene - I can't believe those old wives' tales are still being repeated in this day and age. Go and see a dermatologist, a doctor that specializes in the skin. Your doctor can give you recommendations that will reduce or eliminate the acne.
i am 27 and hate that my skin is so bad. I probably isnt as bad as i think as most people tend to blow their problems out of all proportion but i still get spots and have greasy skin. I really have no idea how to change it
My stepson is 23 and still suffers from it. He eats healthy and exercises regularly. His mother, who is 41, still has issues with it on her back, chest and face. Each individual is different in how they respond to treatments and outbreaks.
One thing is that you are in school. Stress plays a major factor in acne.
