According to the UK health service (NHS) National Health Service around 80-90% of people will between the ages of 13 and 18 suffer from acne of one form or the other. For the most part many of the young people within this grouping will be able to manage their condition with medication purchased over the counter (without prescription). However there is a group by where more intensive treatment will be required and therefore a visit to the doctor or perhaps dermatologist will be required.
