Acne can appear at any age, not during the teens. Newborns, for example, may experience acne within the few weeks of birth, but it typically fades without leaving scars or increasing the likelihood of severe acne later on. Infantile acne, seen in some babies between 3 and 6 months old, can be more serious, causing nodules and cysts that might result in lasting scars. Women, over 25 are increasingly facing issues with acne. Many of these women had acne during their earlier years and they continue to experience breakouts as adults. Some who had bad skin in their teens are now dealing with adult-onset acne.
