[quote=Anonymous]It's a shame you just took her to the pediatrician, because that would have been a good place to start. If your daughter has announced she doesn't care, let it go. My skin was mostly good when I was a teenager, but I had two major episodes of bad skin (which in retrospect might have been rosacea rather than acne), and my mother made it very clear that she thought I needed to DO SOMETHING. Her instance made me feel worse about my appearance but didn't make me go to a dermatologist. So when my teen was having a lot of acne, I sent a note to the pediatrician in advance of the annual checkup, explaining my history with parental interference and asking that she see how the kid was feeling about the breakouts, because I was happy to do something or do nothing, as preferred. And it turned out that my kid was open to advice as long as I wasn't part of the discussion at all. [/quote]
