It is most common in adolescent men and women and manifests itself as follicular papules, pimples, pustules, nodules and cysts on the face, forehead and back. As people age, most acne can heal on its own after the age of 25, so some people do not take acne seriously and consider it a minor problem. While mild acne can be controlled with topical medications, moderate to severe acne requires timely treatment to avoid scarring, hyperpigmentation, and even disfigurement after healing.
