As a teenager I remember having bad acne. It may not have been as bad as I thought, but for me it was pretty bad. For one thing I was the only one of my group to have it.
I remember going to the store and buying anything that said it would get rid of acne fast. But none of it worked. Finally my mother took me to a clinic where I was given a prescription and that cleared it up. But I had to keep getting that medicine until I finally out grow the acne stage.
