Closed Comedones Acne

[SummerintoAutumn]

My 15 year old has this.
Her face is clear but back, chest and shoulders are covered making her very self conscious.
Any advice please?
She has tried various topical treatments but not consistently.
She also had antibiotics from the GP but we disagree on whether she has taken them consistently enough!
She has some issues around food so her diet is not helping.
The pimples are small and sort of under the skin rather than red and oozing.
Thank you.

First I would make sure by standing over her if necessary that she was taking her antibiotics as prescribed and if no improvement, I would ask the gp to refer her a dermatologist. There are stronger things like isotretinoin (retin a) or roaccutane but she needs to use them exactly as advised.

Thank you.
You're right - I need to supervise her this time so that if we need to see the GP again I will know that we can say the antibiotics didn't work.
