Acne Treatment Options For Kids March 6, 2008

Posted by Health Mama in : Babies & Kids , trackback

Acne is a big problem that affects millions of teens. And although there are plenty of effective treatments available to treat acne today, many kids go without treatment.

Acne is not caused by poor hygiene or eating too much chocolate, or by any of the other myths that people believe. Instead, acne is typically caused by the rise in hormones during puberty, especially androgens, and their effect on oil glands in the skin.

Many parents seem to overlook their child’s acne problem though and don’t bring it to their Pediatrician’s attention, either because they think they can treat it effectively on their own or they don’t think it is important enough to go to the doctor for.

So be sure to schedule an appointment with your Pediatrician to discuss your child’s acne and see what acne treatment options are available.
