Personal Care 1. Do not take Acne lightlyTeen's awareness about Acne is very essential as most parents take Acne very lightly and they consider pimples, blackheads, and blemishes just like the signs of hormonal changes in the body and suggest to teens that they will heal on their own. This may seriously have a plummeting effect on their self-esteem. They may get bullied by their fellows, which is not good for their emotional health.

2. Remind your kid to take Acne treatmentBe cautious to understand the severity of the situation. Your kid is going through the stage of selfdoubt because of Acne and you should not only give emotional support to your kid but also a dermatologist treatment.

Do not push too much but remind them when they need to be reminded to take the medicine.

Small research has found that when parents remind their teens too much they find it like 'nagging'. Teens are most of the time likely to follow a treatment plan after taking an appointment from the dermatologist.

3. Stress ManagementStress causes Acne to flare more. You as a parent can be a counsellor or mentor at times in stress management. It's been said, anything that can reduce the stressful situation will help.

4. Depression may trigger the Acne Having acne can affect how teens and even adults feel about themselves. Many studies have shown that having acne can lead to depression, anxiety, or both. The longer one has acne, the more likely these problems are to occur. Studies have also found that clearing acne can relieve depression and anxiety.

Some signs that may help to check if the teen is going through a depression phase are: If sadness persists in the teen for more than two weeks or longer Less participation in activities that once were enjoyable Withdrawal from social connections even people of own age seems boring If any of these behaviours you find during the time of Acne, it's indeed a time to see a dermatologist for the Acne treatment. Low self-esteem is not good for teens.
