Clearing Up Teen Acne

It's hard enough being a teenager without having to worry about acne. It's not something you should just "deal with" as a normal part of being a teen. There are treatments out there that work, but there are many more treatments that claim are the "magic solution" to clearing acne overnight. There are also many myths and home remedies out there that aren't based on any scientific evidence, and frankly, are just flat out wrong.I am a pediatrician on a mission to help teens clear up their skin by providing accurate information about acne treatment and prevention. I not only have dealt with acne myself as a teenager, but I have also seen firsthand how traumatic it can be to teens. It can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression. Having seen patient after patient deal with acne and witness the effect it can have on their self-esteem, I decided to "clear up" all the acne myths and treatment options out there. My hope is that you are able to better educate yourself about this common disease so you can take action and clear up your skin.
