Who gets Pimples?

Virtually no one goes free. Almost all teenagers are affected more or less badly. Untreated, the pimple plague lasts, in average, for 5-10 years and wears off around 18-25 years of age. A small group struggle with pimple problems through most of their adult lives. In the 40s, 1% of the men and 5% of the women still have skin problems due to pimples.
