Senior Ladies (and men too), do you still get an occasional pimple on your face?

Question

I'm 65 and I still do. Is that unusual for this age? How about you?

Answer 1

Yes!

Answer 2

i'm not so "senior", but my dad (61) still gets them occasionally.

Answer 3

I never even got them as a teenager. Neither did my kids. I consider us very, very blessed.  

Answer 4

Thank  goodness no. I didn't have them as a teenager either. Maybe it was because I have a dark complexion. Sister was the same way too. But we had fair cousins that seem to have them all the time. They were always putting stuff  on their face. Mom was fair also and I remember once when she had a red pimple next to her nose she almost freaked out. Sister and I found it funny, but not around mom. We knew better.   Poppy

Answer 5

Never

Answer 6

Once in a blue moon.  I'm 63.

Answer 7

52 years young 52! and yes i get a zit once in a while didn't have a thing as a teen, had a hys. at 28 went thru the change abnd now i'm going through it again!! d**n those whoremoans!!!

Answer 8

Yes.  Usually it's in the spring and fall. I don't know why-- maybe the change of seasons or airborne allergens.  I don't think it's unusual at all.

Answer 9

That is too funny. I thought my mom and I were the only ones to still

have them in our senior years. I remember my mom still having them

when she was a bit younger than me. But I get them so often. They

are usually red enough to make the surface and stand there like a

beacon in the night. So I go through cover up sticks routinely. And

they seem to stick around forever.

  Strangely enough, I never got them as a teenager. I got those ugly

blackheads instead. Around 40 I started getting pimples for the first

time. And an allergy doctor told me his wife had them also in middle

age. So now I wonder, how old do I have to be, before I outgrow them?

Answer 10

Spinelli~

yes, only noe i laugh.....late 50's!!!

Answer 11

I'm not a senior yet, but probably pre-menopausal, so yes to pimples, I sometimes feel I'm going through another spurt of purberty.  

Answer 12

No, I talked to my dermatologist and he told me that acne (and its relatives) can hang around for a life time, and often do for many of us seniors,     BTW  I am 67 y.o. and  I have used an acne remedy cream for the past 50 years!   (Only get one a month - but that's enough to get me steaming)!

Answer 13

I have just noticed lately that I have had a few pop up.  As a teen, I may have had one a month, usually at "that" time, but zits were never a problem.  Now I have a problem.  Husband  says it is lakanuky.

Answer 14

Once in a while.

Answer 15

Leather doesn't get zits.  

Answer 16

No cant say that I do.

Answer 17

I am 42 and have them every month!! hate them ...never had a one as a youth!

Answer 18

Aarghh! Am 45, heading menopause and I have two pimples on my forehead after a loooong while.

Answer 19

51, and yes.  Especially after the hot flashes started.

Answer 20

I don't get pimples but, I am ashamed to say, I do get the odd rogue whisker.  I am particularly horrified by this because of a childhood experience.

     My Mother had an elderly female friend that we used to visit quite often and she would always kiss me goodbye.  I never forgot her bewhiskered face as it 'pricked' into mine.  I am almost manic in the way I search for the odd whisker on my face, everyday.

Answer 21

Yup, I do.  I'm 53 (so maybe not officially "senior" yet, but close); I use Olay's individual facial scrub cloths and those seem to help a lot.  I also use a cortisone lotion on the stubborn ones, as my family has a small history of skin cancers, and I'd like to avoid THAT issue!
