Kids as well as infants are very likely to
suffer from acne. The acne that attacks kids and infants is called
infantile acne. It affects children below six years of age and generally
occurs on cheeks, forehead and chin. It is more common in boys and
settles down within a few months. It consists of whiteheads, blackheads,
pustules and papules. It may leave permanent scars and often result in
acne vulgaris during puberty.
Children, who have acne as infants,
can also fall a prey to acne mechanica due to prolonged use of caps or
due to school bag straps. The repetitive friction in both the cases
results in acne in some cases. Over exposure to sun can also lead to
acne mechanica.
But then, what is the solution?
The
solution is available in the form of various medications such as benzoyl
peroxide, and others which may be recommended by your dermatologist as
per the condition of the sufferer. Some therapies, techniques, and easy
tips can come to your aid as well.
The childhood of your kid is
the most memorable phase of not only his/her life but also your life.
Acne can surely turn your memories and his life bitter. You have to
learn to handle it in order to make your child learn how to handle acne.
So if your child is suffering from acne, it needs your support and
encouragement apart from a good dermatologist.
