My sister lived in absolute torment with hers. From the time she had it until the time she passed away (from unrelated causes) there was virtually no relief and she was so self-conscious about it. It was so sad. It came out of nowhere in her 20s. And then suddenly she had it everywhere. So I can certainly sympathize.
I don't have that problem but all kinds of skin problems, some stress-related, some complete mysteries, some allergy-related, run in my family. I have several myself. It's such a pain.
