Skincare for teen spots

[QueenGalbraith]

Hi,
Teen DS has quite big spots, yellow- and red-headed but fade very fast (as a new batch arrives). He doesn't pick or squeeze them and his skin is good underneath, but I know he'd like to do something as there are always quite a few there. Are there any products that could help, or does he just need to pass through this puberty phase? I don't want to damage any major skin barrier, particularly as he's only 14. TIA x

These are made for teenagers and I've really rated their adult skincare

@QueenGalbraith

The GP would be able to prescribe something which makes a difference, OP.

I would speak to the surgery about an appointment for him.

Thanks @GettingStuffed, I'll look into that.

@TheSquareMile My DB had really bad cystic acne as a teen that required medication, and DS is nothing like that. As I say, each spot probably comes and goes in two-three days, it's just that there's always a new one. No scarring and no wider skin blemishing as DB had, just the spots.

Take him to the GP to get some proper medication like Lymecycline

Acnecide is great as a topical cream

And Cerave SA as a face wash with a flannel

Don't compare him to your DB

Things have moved on and advanced since then with regards to skin and the perception towards it etc etc

Don't prevent DS from going to the GP about it just because it's not as bad as your DB because that's not fair to your DS

My ds uses the cerave wash and acnecide daily. Then regular exfoliation. He still gets plenty of spots but they're small and short term.

Any large ones get a blemish patch/ spot dot overnight. They do dry the skin but are incredible for turning a big angry one into a flat red one.

My DD2 who sounds similar level to your DS does the same as @BangFlash 's DS. Acnecide is my only Amazon subscription!

Acnecide is great. There is a period of dryness if used every day but once over that it works really well. I would try skincare before turning to an antibiotic but that's just my opinion

Thanks everyone! I’ll try Acnecide plus moisturisers, and if that hasn’t changed things in a month or so we’ll go to the GP.
