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!

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to when pimples stop, as it can vary quite a bit from person to person. For most people, acne tends to improve as they move through their late teens into their early twenties. Typically, many see a significant improvement by the age of 18-20. However, it’s not uncommon for some individuals to experience acne well into their twenties or even beyond. This could be influenced by several factors like genetics, hormones, or lifestyle elements, such as diet and stress levels. In some cases, particularly severe or persistent acne might warrant engagement with a dermatologist. For your daughter, it might be worth considering a professional consultation if her acne causes significant distress, pain, or if there’s a risk of scarring. Dermatologists can offer treatments like prescription creams, oral medications, or procedures which can be much more effective than over-the-counter products. Meanwhile, you can explore some practical self-care steps with her, like a consistent skincare routine using a gentle cleanser and non-comedogenic products to avoid clogging pores. Emphasize not picking at the pimples to reduce the chance of scarring. Monitoring her diet, ensuring she’s having a balanced intake and hydrating well is also recommended, though evidence around diet is varied. If she has any systemic symptoms like deep cystic lesions that are painful, or swelling, it’s more pertinent to seek medical advice sooner. Remember, while patience is necessary, ensuring her comfort and confidence is equally important, so seeking timely professional advice might be the most supportive step if current efforts aren’t yielding improvement.
