Advice for parents of teenagers with acne

If you have a teenager that is suffering from acne, I'd suggest helping them cope with this problem by:

1. First, if your teenager starts worrying about a pimple, acknowledge that having a pimple is a problem. Don't make the situation larger than it is but also don't minimize it and make them feel as if it's nothing. As a teenager, their looks are major on the priority list. You want to help them? Help them find self-esteem by finding additional sources of where they can place their self-esteem besides their looks. Yet acknowledge that their looks are important.

2. Help them find better ways to cope with having acne than the ways that I've been mentioning in previous posts.
