DD isn't quite 10 yet, and is getting quite bad, angry acne. She hates it.
She also has possible psoriasis (mild, as yet, and GP isn't sure), and can't seem to shift her molloscum which she's had for over 2 years now.
All in all, I think she needs a dermatologist and have found a private one to see, as the waiting lists where we are are horrendous.
If possible, I'd like to avoid long courses of antibiotics - they never worked on my acne as a teen, and they seem a bad idea all round. What I'd really like to look into, having read about it, is probiotic treatment. It looks like there's decent evidence that bacterial balance may be key. Does anyone know anything about this?
Any general thoughts or experience would be most helpful.
TIA
