In the last couple of week, my 9 year old has had a couple of pimples for the first time (chin, nose). This has scared me which I know sounds dramatic but I had terrible acne as a teenager which nothing could help until I took roaccutane at 18 but my self esteem was on the floor by then.
I had really hoped my daughter would not inherit my bad skin gene. 9 seems young for spots. Is it a sign that puberty is starting? She’s quite small and skinny and doesn’t have other signs of development. Is there anything I can do to help stop the spots before they start seriously?!
