Tips to Help Your Teen Overcome Acne

acne

Appearance is very important to teens; however, about 85% of them suffer from acne. While some teens appear unfazed, others find it upsetting, especially when the effects of acne become visible. At Perfect Skin Center, we believe everyone, including teens, should get the right acne treatment as soon as possible. If your teenager is struggling with this condition, here are a few things you can do to help.

Take Acne Seriously

Some parents tell their teens that blackheads and pimples will ultimately disappear on their own. However, this does more harm than good since it can adversely affect your teen’s self-esteem.

Teens with acne tend to be bullied more in school than those without (76% as compared to 56%). After getting the right treatment, their self-esteem rises, and the risk of bullying reduces.

Treating the condition early also prevents it from worsening. Most people who leave acne to clear out on its own tend to suffer from severe cases. This eventually results in permanent scars.

Remind Your Teen to Use Treatments

Most teens are busy with school, friends and games, so some of them may forget to use their treatment as prescribed. As such, you may have to remind them regularly. But when you do, do it cautiously. Sometimes, teens find it annoying to be constantly reminded to use medicine. This can make them use the treatment less often, or not as prescribed. Therefore, find innovative ways to remind them.

Reduce Stress

Stress can cause acne to flare up. As a parent, you understand that teenagers are more prone to stress because they can worry about everything from school and homework to friends and hormonal changes. Therefore, find ways to reduce stressful situations.

Look Out for Depression Signs

Acne can negatively affect how teens feel about themselves. Studies show that people with the condition can suffer from anxiety and depression. The longer your teen suffers from it, the higher the chances are of developing these issues.
