Did you ever have acne?

I’ve always had very good skin with no problems. It was only in my late twenties when I had a breakout on my chin and forehead. It was right in the middle of my mother’s dementia battle, and me helping my dad. At the doctor for something else, I had gone to the doctor for something else, and while there brought up the acne. He gave me topicals to treat if, and said it was caused by stress. Thankfully, it eventually cleared up. How about you?

I never really dealt with acne. Was never a huge problem for me. I've been lucky.

@AmbiePam There’s nothing quite like standing in front of a mirror, squeezing a really big, ripe pimple and watching the pus shoot out all over the glass. Awesome. Then you can scoop it up and make pimple pus soufflé. Oh to be 15 again.

I'm very lucky that I escaped those acne teenage years. I rarely get any breakouts but I do know that sress can cause a lot of problems.

I haven't experienced having an acne problem. But I did experienced later when I am already working. It was on my forehead but thankfully I don't need to see a dermatologist. I think that was stress too. A sudden hormonal imbalance as well.

I’ve always had pretty good skin. Back in school, almost all of my friends asked for my skincare advice, but I didn't know what to tell them since I didn't use any products! However, since moving to a country with cold winters, my face sometimes breaks out in a rash due to the weather. But luckily, still no acne so far.

No I didn't have acne, thankfully. I did get a few spots when younger and I still get one now and again. I also do get eczema when I'm stressed.

I've had the occasional breakout, but nothing too serious. It usually seems to happen when I'm stressed or not getting enough sleep. Or when I eat peanuts

Not acne but a few pimples. I once squeezed a pimple a few years ago and landed for 10 days in the hospital as my face was swollen. I had infection.

Barely. I had one or two pimples when I was probably 15 or 16 but that's it. Kids didn't go to dermatologists back then, but I see that all the teenagers see skin doctors now for acne.
