Another reason to see a doctor is that teens who suffer from acne early on can sometimes expect it to worsen as they get older, and possibly continue on into adulthood. This can also mean more severe types of acne have formed, and by seeking medical attention, scarring can be prevented earlier on in the course of the condition.
I will admit that it is quite common for those in their early teen years to pout a little bit, and suffer from the complications of low self-esteem. Who can blame them, really? I mean, going from middle school to high school is a huge change, the onset of puberty gets all those hormones going, and the awkwardness of going from childhood into the teen years can be a total shock to the system! Now, I have to hand it to my daughter...she never seemed to fall victim to the shock of high school, hormones, or the awkwardness of the childhood to teen transition. There is one thing that she fell victim to, though... acne.
While anyone can suffer from acne, teenage acne is by far the most common. In fact, more than 70% of teenagers are suffering from acne at any given moment according to some estimates.
