Teen Spots

[Applejack87]

Hi , my daughter is 13 & has a lot of pimples on her forehead which are on her back as well . The spots on her back are very itchy I do put Calamine on them as it reliefs the itching . Is there anything else to get rid of them I know it’s hormonal but I’m wondering if it’s worth a trip to the Dr

Definately worth a trip to the doctor if it's making her very insecure or unhappy. I'd also recommend telling her to drink lots of water, to not touch her face or pick at her spots. Look into getting her a good skincare routine and change her pillow cases often. Acne is so typical at her age and it will probably ease off on it's own but these steps can stop it from worsening! Good luck!

Yes, do visit the gp. Ds is on oral antibiotics for his skin. It hasn't got rid of all his spots but they are definitely less red and inflamed.

Thankyou I’ll book an appt
