My youngest has a skin issue. Not many pimples, but a lot of closed comedones, just a smooth layer. Actually, it's bumpy, not smooth. Sometimes he gets inflamed bumps on his nose that look like sebaceous cysts. When they break open, it's a nightmare, leaving holes. Our dermatologist at the clinic didn't offer any helpful advice. Cleansers like "Propeller" don't help at all. Has anyone else experienced this? I never had this problem, and my husband just had regular pimples that he could dry out with salicylic acid. What kind of doctor should we see? Another dermatologist? A cosmetologist? Someone else? Should we get some tests done beforehand? Either way, we have to travel 200 km. I'd rather not go for a paid appointment only to be given a stack of papers and nothing else.

I remember taking brewer's yeast tablets when I was his age, and my acne significantly reduced. Brewer's yeast with sulfur helped the most.

Still, see a dermatologist. They'll prescribe a comprehensive treatment, possibly with antibiotics.

We went to the dermatologist, and they prescribed antibiotics, plus washes and creams. We had tests done, then a different treatment and more tests. Now, a year later, we're on our third treatment and tests. Find a good doctor!

Oily skin needs good cleansing, morning and night. This applies to both girls and boys. Consider the pink series from skin1004.
I use a peeling gel every other day in my routine. My favorite has been discontinued, so I'm looking for an alternative.

It's better to go to a cosmetologist. Dermatologists aren't great everywhere.

I suffer from closed white comedones myself and noticed my son started getting them at 7 years old. We went to a private dermatologist who prescribed Bioderma Sebium for constant use. It helps in the long run.

Katrin Cream only at night, and micellar water in the morning and evening.

We paid to see a dermatologist for my son's acne, and this is what they prescribed. It's significantly better now, you could say it's all gone. A diet is also recommended.

Find a good dermatologist based on reviews. You might need to start with antibiotics if there's a lot of inflammation. I have acne grade 2, and now both my daughters are breaking out too. They wash their face with Propeller and Tsynovit (alternating), then apply Skinclin or Baziron to clean skin. I also try to control their diet – if they eat too much sweets, their breakouts get worse.

Fatty and sweet foods can cause this.
Try Sudocrem or any cream with zinc. And change your diet.

My son has acne. Gentle methods haven't helped much, so he's been prescribed retinoids. Unfortunately, there's no other way around it now. His digestive system is fine, and his diet is good. He has a multi-step skincare routine from his esthetician and dermatologist, but it's just a skin condition, unfortunately. It's strange because my husband, my daughter, and I have never had it.

I had to go to the cosmetologist, and they prescribed various oral medications too. Plus skincare, but my diet always had a big impact. Now I'm on hormones, so I'm breaking out again, maybe it's related to that.

Katya Acne is pimples, right? It's not pimples for him, but like the pore contents can't get out, it's all in bumps. Individual ones do get inflamed, of course, but that's later.

Mariya What if we minimize fat and fried foods? My husband has pancreatitis and an ulcer, so we mostly just sear the meat before braising it. I don't even make fried bases for soups.

Katya Chemical peels might help. They didn't really help us, though) We went for them constantly with Alisa for a year and a half, and the effect was minimal, but in principle, they should help.

Katrin And I'm thinking, why did my pimples disappear before my period?) I almost always had a few during PMS. I just wanted to switch to a good micellar water because its ingredients are good, and it turns out that helped with the breakouts 👍👍👍
