Infants acne usually spontaneously disappear within a few weeks of its existences. This acne may least - months, more rarely it may persist to 3-4 years.
Cosmetic acne occur mainly in women aged 20 to 50 years in the use of cosmetics with comedogenic ingredients, comedogenic on the chin and cheeks. They don't affect the forehead but in rare cases the nodules and pustules may appear, which then disappear by themselves without leaving scars.
