I know that acne is supposed to be
genetic, right? My mom and her siblings
all had really bad acne when they were
teenagers and 2 out of my dad's 4 brothers
had bad skin. My skin is really clear
though. I mean yea ... I get the
occasional pimple during my period, but
other than that my skin is really clear
and i'm almost 18. There is a history of
it in my family, so do you think that I
still have a chance of developing acne
even though i'm almost 18? I don't know
if this has anything to do with it, but I
spend a lot of time with track at school.
Could all the running and exercise and
sweating be what keeps my skin looking
good? I'm just worried that all of a
sudden i'm gonna have all this acne if
it's genetic ...

You could develop adult acne so make sure
you are super good to yourself and be glad
that you have great skin!
