Is This Normal? Posted: 09-13-04 18:21pm


I'm gonna be 18 in just about 2 weeks and i'm a male. I developed mild acne when I was in my late 10s. Just blackheads mainly and also little white pimples. This stuff peaked when I was around 11 and when I was turning 13 all those blackheads and whiteheads were gone maybe only about 10 little blackheads remained. When I was 14, I started getting acne again and it got messy with 15, a lot of pimples, but not a severe form, just a moderate case, I had maybe only 3 cysts till now. My acne looked worst in my 15s, went on treatment when I turned 16, and been on and off on benzaclin till now. People say my acne is now almost not noticeable. My question is if it was normal for me (a male) to get acne at such a very young age...? The only signs of puberty I showed at time was armpit hair, which I got at around 10, and voice change and some pubic hair in my late 11s.

Yes i'm pretty sure it is normal. I started developing acne in 2nd grade. It wasn't bad but it got worse and worse. Acne is a heriditary trait in my family. I know it also had to do with diet. I'm 20 now and I still have pretty severe acne. I changed my diet and several other aspects of my life and it is finally clearing up. Acne through the teens is normal. My case is a little less normal
