[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dermatologist. There are options to try before Accutane (which BTW, for some teens can be miraculous).[/quote] +1 My siblings and I grew up with significant acne. I also had some adult acne, and then my first pregnancy...wow! I promised myself if my kids were acne prone, I would take them straight to the dermatologist. OTC can be a lot of wasted time and money. OP, your kid is already dealing with scaring, go to the doctor. My son is on a combination of topicals - clindamyacin (antibiotic) and tretonin (retinol) - that keep him quite clear when he is on top of the regimen. He also uses PanOxyl for body wash (chest and back), as recommended by the doctor. This will bleach towels, so use light colors or old ones. [/quote]
