It’s very common after puberty( i.e from 11 or 13 years ) and it can last upto 25years. If it exceeds above 25 years it’s called as adult acne. If u take treatment for the right amount of time without discontinuing the medication it really helps. Acne is always best treated before it leaves a scar. So consult right away .
Next Steps
Need not stress about it as stress would increase it. Don’t use any harsh soaps or any home remedies. For further consultation and treatment options consult me online.

If you don't treat acne properly, it will continue even in adult life. Please send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment. And if you don't treat properly, you may end up with ugly scars throughout life.
