Why didn't people get acne until the last 70 years or so?
I've never seen a photo of anyone with acne and I was wondering if anyone knew why that was. I was thinking it might be because we eat greaser food then they did.
Thanks!

acne has always existed..egyptian writings even mentioned pharoahs having problems with it...and the word acne is actually from ancient greece because they suffered from it too...remember before there were pictures with a camera all there was were paintings or drawings and im sure they left out the ugly parts!!!
