Acne at 8 years old????
My son, 8, appears to have some facial acne. No other signs of early puberty but perioral pustules and some whiteheads on his nose. Is this normal? Should I worry? What can I do to help him control them?

Re: Acne at 8 years old????
Thank you for your question. Acne can happen at 8. Best to see your GP for treatment.
I hope this is helpful.

If its perioral pustules, one needs to consider perioral dermatitis as well. Any topical steroid use?
