Will mild acne disqualify me?

[Aindreas]

Hello. I have very mild acne on my face and back. I was wondering if this would get me disqualified, as I have heard stories from other people being turned away for acne

It is not the mild acne that usually causes the DQ. It is the medication associated with it, specifically Accutane. Severe acne can be an issue however.
If you search the forum, you will find numerous threads on the topic.

If you are not currently using meds, then you may be okay.

Many teenagers have acne and mild to even moderate shouldn't be a problem.
