Yes! Anyone can get acne. Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages and genders. It typically occurs during puberty when the body undergoes hormonal changes, but it can also occur in adults. Some people are more prone to acne due to genetic factors or certain medical conditions, but, anyone can develop acne at some point in their lives. It is also possible for babies to get acne, a condition called neonatal acne or baby acne.


There are several acne treatments available, ranging from over-the-counter topical products to prescription medications. It's important to remember that acne treatments can take time to work, and it may take several weeks or months to see improvement. Additionally, some treatments can have side effects, so it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and report any adverse reactions. There are also skin conditions that look like acne, but can be something else. The right diagnosis can help develop your treatment plan.
