[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know I took my kid who didn’t care to the dermatologist and got an expensive bunch of products and they never used them. So if you have a kid who doesn’t care, it all ends up being a big waste of money. You can’t make a kid care just because you do. [/quote] That's the problem -- any topical or oral medication for acne has to be taken on a regular basis, consistently, and over at least months if not longer. One visit to a dermatologist makes sense to me, because maybe they will have interventions or ideas other than medication that can help (hearing "change your pillowcases" from a non-related adult can land differently), or maybe they will really click. But if you give it a shot and the child still doesn't care about it, then this is not a fight to have for them. You can't care more than they do, when it is their body and it is not a matter of life or limb.[/quote]
