[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see what the issue is, acne is normal for teens.  If she's 18-20 and still having issues, that's when I would consult a dermatologist.  Until then, acne is part of life, and I wouldn't want to have her hormones screwed up.[/quote]

You've obviously never experienced real, cystic acne, or had a child who has.  I would never put a child through that experience just because it's "part of life" if there's a proven solution.  [/quote]

Actually, I did.  And I'm perfectly fine, though I have a few blemishes I wish I didn't, it's part of life.  I also know that hormones are so crazy during teen years that I would rather not mess with my child's body chemistry unless absolutely necessary, and acne treatment isn't necessary.[/quote]

This is so pathetic.  Perhaps your acne wasn't disfiguring or so bad that other kids referred to you as "pizza face".   But can't you allow for the fact that plenty of teens do in fact experience horrendous, cystic acne that requires Accutane?  What if your teen develops this kind of acne?  Are you just going to say, "Sorry, honey, but acne treatment just isn't necessary.  You'll have to just tough it out like I did!"  Ugh.  Poor kid.[/quote]
