I am in my 30s and I still get acne outbreaks. Do I need medication?

The best option for you is see a doctor about your condition as soon as possible. With the advent of isotretinoin (a drug used in the treatment of moderate, severe or sometimes mild types of acne, commercially known as Roaccutane) and laser, doctors can cure almost all patients who suffer from acne, a common condition that is mainly caused by genetic factors. It can affect men until the ages of 25 to 35. In some cases, acne breakouts can occur in men in their 40s too. Medical treatment for acne is actually simple, effective and affordable.
