What to do when a 12 year old has acne on his face

Acne can be controlled by general treatment, topical medication or phototherapy as prescribed by your doctor.
1. General treatment: Acne can occur when there are poor hygiene habits, excessive sweating, and increased sebum secretion. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to skin cleansing, use appropriate cleansing products, and avoid squeezing or scratching the pimples with hands.
2. Topical medication: Vitamin A cream, fusidic acid cream or azelaic acid cream can be used locally to treat lesions where acne occurs. In addition, salicylic acid cream or gel has a certain degree of efficacy in inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes.
3. Phototherapy: LED blue light or red light can be used to treat lesions. Alternatively, sterilized instruments can be used to clean up the acne contents.
Parents should take their children to the dermatology department of the regular hospital in time to follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment and avoid self-medication.
