in which age pimples stop - #19622

Janvi

I am a bit worried about my teenager. She's 15 and has been going through this whole pimple thing for quite a while now. Like, it started when she was about 12, and I thought, it’s just a phase, right? But now that she’s in high school, it seems like it's getting worse. Some days, they're just small spots, but then she wakes up with these big, angry ones that really hurt! I've tried talking to her about skincare and even bought her some products, but nothing seems to help. I read somewhere that a lot of kids stop getting pimples by a certain age, and I just gotta know – in which age do pimples stop for most people? My friend said her daughter stopped dealing with them by 18, but I'm worried my girl will be stuck with it longer. Is there a typical age for this? I just want to know what to expect, if we should go see a dermatologist or chill for a while longer. I mean, if they usually stop by 18, then I might just need to be patient? Or are there some kids who go into their twenties still struggling? It’s really hard seeing her feeling self-conscious and I'm just looking for some advice, or experiences from other parents. Thanks!
