Acne is a stage of puberty it can go away fast or you may have it for a while. The best thing to do is watch your diet clean your face numerous times during the don't allow you hair to hang in your face.

Hair is not good for acne. It is very annoying and it you have it very bad you can get a prescription from a doctor to clear it up.

this is taken from my puberty guide, it should answer your question:

Section 2: Skin

1. Why Do I have sudden outbreaks of pimples? During Puberty, your bodies main hormone, testosterone, makes the skin secrete more oil. A mixture of oil and skin debris (serum) can sometimes get trapped in hair follicles. Then if bacteria enter the blocked follicle and multiply, it causes inflammation that creates the pimple. Pimples are usually filed with pus which is produced when your body tries to fight the bacteria.

2. What are blackheads and what is Acne? Blackheads are blockages of serum in hair follicles that have turned dark because of exposure to the oxygen in the air. If Bacteria builds up under one of these blackheads, they cause a pimple. Acne is if you have several blackheads and pimples. Acne usually forms on the face, but can also occur on the arms, chest, back, neck, thighs and your ass. Acne usually clears up in your late teens or early 20's.

3. How do I get Rid of My Pimples/Acne? Whatever you do, don't pick your pimples. It can irritate the skin and make the acne worse. It can also cause scarring. However, although you should keep your skin clean, don't overdo it. To much cleanser, scraping, and scrubbing can irritate the skin and make the acne worse, only wash the skin once of twice a day. Drug stores have many products for dealing with Acne, ask your doctor to recommend one. (s)He will likely suggest a product containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. (but using both at the same time can irritate your skin). If after a few weeks your acne hasn't improved, your doctor may prescribe some clinical strength acne medication, antibiotics or direct you to a dermatologist. (skin doctor)
