Acne
Acne is a skin condition that is a common part of puberty, when boys and girls have many hormonal changes. The fact that acne is common doesn’t make it any easier for your child or teen. We understand this at Nemours Children’s.
Our doctors see many kids with acne every year. We can design a care plan to effectively treat your child’s acne. We’ll also help you understand what may cause breakouts and how to avoid things that might make it worse.
