Self explanatory thread really, whats the difference between having spots and having acne? Obviously acne is worse, but at what point does it become acne?

Im not sure thats how i see it anyway im sure someone can give a much more detailed and accurate description of the differences!!!
Acne is grim tho as i have suffered from it on and off for about 7 years
Now i just get the randomly on my face sometimes if i'm unlucky, i would have hoped though, that at 19 i would of grown out of them completely.
exactly what i thought, i never got them as a teenager and now im 20 im getting them real bad. And i dont like it
the ones that are bothering me the most, are the big really sore ones under the skin. I dont squeeze my spots. but i am still left with scars
nothing works, i drink loads of water, wash with tea tree stuff, tried scrubs, everything
never had a cold in his life apparantly :yes:
i changed my diet alot and it had no effect. i went about a month of cutting out bad foods and eating loads of fresh fruit and vegetables and nuts and things every day alongside loads of water. And it didnt make the slightest bit of difference.
i think it becomes acne when you have an abnormally high amount of testosterone and so your sebaceus gland is over-active or something like that!
Haha, I'll be 22 soon and I have a spot on my chin ;(
i grew out of my bad skin. at 23. don't give up yet
