Dd has just turned 10 - for the last few months she's had the odd spot but this has now developed into one or two spots all the time - she's got a huge one on her chin right now :(. She's been cleaning with clearasil and using freederm on individu spots but it's not getting any better.
My sister had acne as a teenager and it really dented her confidence and I don't want dd to suffer in the same way. I know it's really early but should I take her to the doctor now - I'm worried that if it's started at 10 she'll have it quite bad.
I do feel sad for her as all of her friends have absolutely clear skin - she's beautiful (I know I'm biased) but she's also got a real perfectionist streak and I know that when she looks in the mirror she's not going to see masses of blonde hair, lovely grey-blue eyes and long, long legs - all she'll see is the spots :(
