As a long time acne sufferer, its best to get some professional help for some relief of this skin problem
. Sure its not as bad as other physical problems, illness or disease, but it can seriously affect a persons confidence and quality of life temporarily.
A lot of people I know who had acne like me had it for longer than necessary because there parents said not to worry about it and it will just go away within a matter of months. Well this could be right when talking about mild acne, but these teenagers had moderate and severe cases so the advice was bad and they had to have acne for a lot longer than necessary because they did not get any professional treatment for it.
For mild acne, visiting your local professional is not necessary or may not have a big impact on your problem, but if you have a moderate or severe case I would recommend it. These doctors study and specialize in the field of acne for years. So their opinions are something to be taken quite seriously. But then again its up to the individual. I had acne for five years and it took me for years to actually see someone about it. My particular situation was moderate but still persisted rather annoyingly for a number of years.
If I had my time all over again I would have visited my local professional after a month. Also some internet opinions are very valid and written by doctors themselves so give them a look over.
