I rarely see anyone with acne anymore. I had bad acne from the age of 14 into my late 20s. Seems they invented stuff to get rid of it around 15 years ago. Why not discuss with your doctor if you are interested to learn more?

Do You Wish It Was Gone If They Do Have It?
Only If They Overuse Capital Letters.:wink:

Actually, I think Ex, for the first time in living memory, is bang spot on.
I don't see many people with acne any more.
And acne never did bother me very much.
It might depend, of course, on the severity of the case.

That is true, i teach high school and i don't see anyone with acne anymore. Even when i was in high school in the late 90's it seemed like there were a few people in my school with it and that was it. I remember when that Proactive stuff came out and my friend Jenny got it. She had some acne and it cleared it all up. I thank God I didnt have it, my poor little bro did and he got Proactive after he saw how it helped my friend Jenny and his cleared up. Teens don't know how lucky they are now, it seems acne is no longer the teenage curse it once was!

The guy I've had my longest relationship with had really bad acne. He bathed every day and tried to use every over-the-counter product he could for it and it didn't help. He needed prescription medication but didn't have insurance and couldn't afford it. The acne didn't bother me.

I Have Mild Acne But I Want To Know If Any Of You Have A Partner With Acne?

Do You Wish It Was Gone If They Do Have It?

Never had any major cases of acne. I may get one or two from shaving though but it's fairly rare .


I knew someone that had it really bad he was a douche though nearly punched him in the face a few times for entering my personal space.
I do not like anyone getting in my face

I use to feel the same way when I had acne but it cleared up thankfully. I used to shower twice a day and had the acne creams the whole works. Even before it did clear up I had a girlfriend that I had loved and she loved me in High School. She always told me not to be insecure about what is only skin deep because skin lasts only so long but the type of person you are lasts forever.

I'm 47 and I still have to battle it. Even the smallest "accident" will cause a breakout, like not changing my pillowcase every other day or eating something with Stevia in it or not washing my hands often enough.

I had a bad case as a teenager. I have some scars from it that I see every time I look in the mirror. Medication didn't really help, and sometimes made it worse. After many years I discovered it was stress related. I thank my step-father for that. Now at 42 I still get it. I get a few now and then related to testosterone injections. When I break out bad, I know I'm stressing about something and need to deal with it.

It hasn't ever affected me in a relationship / dating / romance sort of thing. If it was an issue for someone, I might have to consider if I wanted to be involved with someone who's shallow.

Blade shaving triggers acne for me, every time...and I'm 41 years old. When I switched to electric shaving, back in the 80s, my acne cleared up almost completely within 2 weeks...unless I used a blade for a special occasion, like attending a wedding.

In my case, even today, it seems to be triggered when I shave too close.
