A young teen came into Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy today looking for advice on managing acne, a common issue during puberty. He mentioned, “I’ve started getting a lot of pimples, and I’m not sure how to handle it.”

I explained, “During puberty, your body increases hormone production, which can cause your skin to become oilier and more prone to acne. It’s important to develop a good skincare routine. Washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser and using products that are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog your pores, can really help.”

We talked about the importance of avoiding harsh scrubs or over-washing, which can irritate the skin further. I also suggested, “Changing your pillowcases frequently and keeping your hands away from your face are good practices to keep the oil and dirt build-up from worsening your acne.”

Before he left, I let him know, “If over-the-counter products aren’t effective, a dermatologist can offer other treatments like prescription creams or medications.”

Educating young people on maintaining skin health during puberty is another way we support our community’s wellness.

Until tomorrow, Rania – Your Friendly Pharmacist at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy
