My grd/dght just turned 12 has crops of spots all over her brow, a few by her nose and chin. She is not bothered at all but I suspect she will be as she gets older. My DIL is very good and ensures she cleans her skin properly and does use some products but I think it is her own Elemis that she uses. I bought a lot of T tree products and she says she has used those too. My friend says this happens when there is a hormone surge.
She is quite big built for her age and her breasts are beginning to swell (and she is acutely embarrassed about this.) Her mom started periods when she was 11 and I think this can be hereditary.
I get so upset at seeing these ugly spots on my beautiful grd/dghts face. I found some products on line and were very expensive and I mentioned this to my DIL and she said "aah no - she just has to go through it" -DIL is very level headed and is much less worried about things with my gr/dhtr than I am and is a great believer in teaching your childen the skills they need to cope with difficulties through life. I know she is so right, but I just worry about my precious girl!
