Acne
Who has it?
Acne is the most common skin disease in the United States affecting between 40 and 50 million people. Many teenagers regardless of race or ethnicity develop acne. Acne affects approximately 80% of people who are between the ages of 12 to 25 years old. Although a large majority of teens are affected by acne, it can also occur in adults. Acne is relatively common in women in their 20s to 30s due changes in hormone levels associated with the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Acne is more common in males than in females during adolescence, but more common in females than in males during adulthood.
