Will there ever come a time when I do not get pimples?

You know, pimples - aka: zits, acne, white or black heads, volcanoes, blemishes, miserable skin eruptions and that can interrupt an otherwise beautiful day...yeah pimples.

When I was younger (as early as fourth grade) I had a bad case of acne. It seemed to come and go, but it was miserable in High School. It wasn't to the point where I looked like I had road rash or pox ... but bad enough.

As I aged I figured they would lessen and eventually disappear. They lessened. Disappear? Definitely not!

I have gone through this little deal with myself (as if I had any control)...
I would no longer have to deal with acne when...
when- I am 18, no?
well then...when- I turn 21....
how about 25yrs. old...
for sure when I am 30 I will no longer have to deal with pimples.
Yeah...no....
Here I am 35 yrs old
and still I wake up with a "zit" here or there OR EVERYWHERE!
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
HERE is where the real problems lies.
Not only do I still have the occasional break out.
No, now these pimples are showing up on top of the wrinkles I am starting to get! Seriously!

Who has pimples and wrinkles at the same time?

Apparently I do!
