Up to 90 percent of teenagers and young adults in the Western world develop facial pimples and/or acne. Pimples and acne turn up when the pores in the skin with an abundance of oil glands, which the face has, get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The results are blackheads, whiteheads, pus-filled pimples and large cysts.
Though a “bad complexion” may not seem like a big deal to adults (especially to those who were free of one when they were young), severe acne and pimples can plague a kid’s self-esteem, confidence and social life.
Change your teen’s life for the better by taking him (or her) to the office of Dermatology for the Family. We know that skin conditions are delicate subjects for many adolescents and that they might hesitate to talk about them. And even if the blemishes are not very apparent, to a kid who has them, they can be quite embarrassing. That’s why making our patients feel at ease is one of our priorities.
Acne and pimples come in a variety of sizes, colors and pain levels.
