What is the best way to manage acne and red marks in teenagers?
2026.11.08 23:44
My child, who has entered puberty, has recently been very worried because the red bumps and pustular acne on their face have gotten much worse.
At first, I thought it was just a phase of growing up, but
As my child kept touching, picking at, and squeezing it with their hands, red marks and even pitted scars started appearing around their cheeks.
I feel like I'm under a lot of stress and my confidence is dropping.
I'm planning to start hospital care before it's too late.
Since I am still in my teenage years, I am wondering if it would be better to start with treatments suitable for my skin condition, such as extractions or scaling, rather than irritating laser procedures.
I would also like to know how many consistent treatment sessions are usually required for acne to improve noticeably, and whether I can receive care for red marks or scars as well.

- 01CommentsI really relate because the marks tend to last a long time for me too. I'll check the answers together to see if they go away on their own.160026.11.08
- 02CommentsIf you only extract sebum, your pores will remain as they are. You need to deep cleanse with Aqua Peel and combine it with Potenza or Fraxel to get rid of both blackheads and pores.230026.11.08
- 03CommentsThe breakouts that occur every menstrual cycle are due to hormones, so managing your sebaceous glands is the answer. When it hurts, I get anti-inflammatory injections and receive Gold PTT or Agnes treatments, so they flare up less.210026.11.08

- 02CommentsI totally relate because I've been getting tiny bumps on my jawline lately too. Even though I make sure to apply soothing line products, they don't seem to go down. I'm curious to know what kind of care you would recommend.450026.11.02
- 03CommentsI can relate to your concern about looking into hospital care because squeezing at home seems to leave worse marks; as I also have acne-prone skin, this feels like a relatable situation. Among the questions you summarized, whether to take a break from exfoliating products or retinol during the treatment period is something I was also curious about. Since the area comes into contact with a scarf, I suggest asking about the material and washing frequency during the consultation as well.340026.11.06
