How long do the zits last?

[Nero]

Okay, here come the zits. Somebody say this isn't permanent! Yuck! I'm practically senile and now I look like a 14 year old boy.

[Osiris]

I know zits can be caused by hormonal changes. So I think when your body becomes use to the T the zits aren't as bad.

It's different for everyone as to how long it takes, but I know for most guys it goes away.

[Mister]

About a year.

[Nathan.]

A year! man that sucks lol

[Mister]

Zits last about a year.  your period will last about 30.  you decide.

[Nathan.]

heh. I don't mind spots I just didn't know they lasted that long.

[findingreason]

I'm genetically male, and they haven't left yet.....and it can be annoying beyond belief. Since I was 12-13 years old, I've had them in varying amounts. Mind you, my puberty is pretty much done too, so....it all varies on the person I guess *shrugs*

or longer... i've got prescription strength zit cream and they still come.  much better now though.

huge shock to the system as i had nearly flawless skin before.  But life isn't perfect.  I'll take zits over looking like a porcelin doll any day.

So far my zits (on my face)  are actually not as bad as they used to be (knock on wood). I have only been on T 10 weeks ish. Need to go check the calendar again. They are worse than before on my back but my face is not nearly as bad.

[Jay]

I'm just over a year on T and still have spots just on my face though.

Even though I wash my face twice a day with soap/facial wash.

Dunno...

Ahh puberty. Round 2.

My daughter and I fight over the zit cream.  I'm closing in on 11 mos on T.

I have zits now, and I'm pre t (but I have a lot of T naturally).
They stopped coming only when I took the pill, but when I luckily stopped it they returned.
Good Luck.

Uhh, can't say how long they last, 'cuz mine certainly aren't going away any time soon.  I can commiserate, though.

Nearly five months on, and my back is a downright mess; so was my dad's when he went through puberty.  My back didn't fare so well the first time through puberty, either, but at least the prescription cream I had helped (very effective the first time around, but unfortunately also extremely expensive--about $80 for a small tube).  But it's not doing much on this T-inspired acne, I'm afraid.  The tight sports bra is not helping matters, either >.<

So yeah, 14-year-old zitty boy... I'm currently rocking that look out.

Ah the joys of the "second" puberty. You guys get zits, I get hot flashes.  Fair trade ;-)

[Ms.Behavin]

OOP's,  Darn I keep forgeting that you were not alway guys.

Sorry.

Well my two kids both have good luck with Proactiv.  You have to order it online, and no, this is not a commercial.  You will need to be very diligent about your skin care.  Good luck.

so do we.

Oh god, this thread reminded me of the horrible bacne I used to have when I was a young teenage boy. Getting lanced at the dermo, on accutane, my entire back just covered... I forgot all about that.

Boob pain is far better than that.
