Who Can Get Acne

With acne being the number one skin condition in the world it’s clear that it’s a very common condition that basically everyone is prone too. Throughout your life you should expect that you’ll have at least a mild case of acne at one point in time. Some people will have a rougher time with acne and may have serious cases of it throughout teenage years and young adulthood. The percentage for teenagers getting acne is anywhere from 80-90% and the chances of an adult having acne is 10% which if you think about it is a fairly high number. Most adults won’t suffer from severe acne problems but there is a good chance you’ll experience minor cases.

Acne can be seen on both male and females equally and typically there isn’t any one sex that is less or more prone to the skin condition. Babies are also susceptible to acne so you need to ensure you clean the babies face often as well to keep pores open and unclogged.

Where Can Acne Be Seen?

Generally acne will become a problem on the face and this is where 90% of people experience acne. Acne can however develop anywhere where there are sebaceous glands present. This means that your chest, back, legs and arms are all susceptible to acne. This is why it’s so important to keep your body clean and why most men and women are now not only using soaps to clean themselves but also body washes. There are men and women body washes available and I would recommend using one to ensure you don’t get acne anywhere on your body.

When Is Acne Most Susceptible To You?

Acne can hit you when you’re a baby or a senior so there isn’t anytime you can’t get acne which is a huge bummer in my mind but there isn’t anything that can be done about it. However, most people will get acne once they hit puberty and from there it can last anywhere from 1-20 years. Some people have severe acne cases and these people will most likely have to deal with the skin condition for a longer period of time. People who only get minor cases of acne may only need to deal with the condition for a short period of time. It’s usually up to how well you cleanse your face, but some people who cleanse daily still have problems ridding their face of acne. It can become a serious issue once you reach your teenage years and young adulthood because most people with severe become depressed.

How’s Acne Affect You?

Well acne has the power to affect you in many ways with the obvious being severe discomfort. When you have acne it can feel really weird on the skin and it can also tighten the skin up. As the acne dries up it becomes easy for it to disappear, but while it’s fresh it can shoot out pus and blood at any moment. You can also get acne scars from picking acne when it’s in its fresh state and you should avoid picking any acne at all costs because acne scars are terribly difficult to get rid of.

Acne also can cause depression and low self-esteem and many people are faced with this issue. Throughout highschool many people are made fun of due to acne and this puts a huge negative effect on the teenager. Acne can literally ruin some people’s lives if they let it affect them but you shouldn’t feel embarrassed because roughly 90% of people deal with acne.
