Wondered if anyone had any advice. My grand-daughter who is 13 this week has spots in the T zone, forehead, nose and chin. She has had them for several months now. I bought her some expensive stuff but it didn't make any difference although I'm not sure she was going through the stages, cleansing etc etc. Then her mom took her to the GP and she prescribed anti-biotic cream but that hasn't done any good. Her mom (my dil) had very bad skin as a teenager and she suffered a lot as her mom didn't bother.
The GP did say that if the cream didn't work there were other things, (think taking anti-biotics) but I've heard that the skin clears when taking the ABs but spots re-appear when not taking them? I'm not sure how much it bothers my grand-daughter as I don't mention her skin, only if it's looking relatively clear as it sometimes does and I say "oh your skin looks good" - she is a lovely, good natured, caring girl and is at an all girls school so at least she hasn't got the problem of boys!
Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated.
