I wonder if anyone has any good advice. My DGD is 13 and has bad spots on her brow, around nose and chin, the T zone. I don't know whether this is acne or not. My DIL has taken her to the GP who first gave her antibiotic cream which didn't seem to help and now she is on antibiotics but they don't seem to be helping either. She is just getting to the stage where she really cares about how she looks and she would be so pretty without the spots.
I have bought her an expensive range of treatments, but I don't think she bothered too much to go through the stages of cleansing, toning, etc. There were 5 stages I think, but they didn't seem to help.
It's tricky for me as I am just a nanny (a very doting one!) but I so want to help. I am wondering about asking my DIL if she would be willing for me to pay for DGD to see a dermatologist. I have heard that there is one treatment (think it's medication ) that can cause severe depression in teenagers who take it for acne. Begins with R but can't remember what it's called.
Any ideas anyone?
