Your Teen's Acne

If your child’s battling breakouts, it’s probably more than skin deep for you both.

While your teen may be adventuring toward independence, it can still be tough for a parent to balance between offering advice and overstepping boundaries. Acne can dial up the emotional turmoil, as your teen deals with breakout-induced anxiety and you search for solutions.

Good news.

You can stop blaming greasy food or those dirty gym clothes for your teen’s breakouts and put the blame where it belongs—on biology. Because acne, even mild or moderate cases, are a medical condition, caused by the hormonal changes going on in a teen’s body. Which means your best ally in your child’s treatment is your family doctor, pediatrician or dermatologist.

Just like anything else, it’s important to set aside time to talk to your teen about breakouts so they know it’s a normal medical condition and they’re not doing anything wrong. A little reassurance that you care can go a long way. So get the conversation going and help them enlist the help of an expert.

Your baby may be bigger, but you can still come to the rescue.
