Approximately 85% of teens struggle with acne. This can make a teenager feel alone and insecure. Unlike most adult acne, teenage acne is most closely tied to hormonal change. Things to consider with teens are; their skin type, what kind of acne they’re dealing with and the different ways to treat it. There are triggers that can cause particularly bad breakouts, risk factors that could turn acne into more serious skin conditions. Different skin types present with different teenage acne struggles. Blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples are slightly different, and benefit from different treatments. Sports and Lifestyle changes such as increased sleep and decreased sugar intake can improve acne. Over-the-counter acne treatment products could help but the sometimes the best acne treatment for teens are prescription options.
