Acne skin

My 17-year-old son has acne and we have tried every
home remedy, but it has not helped. It has now started
to negatively affect his self-confidence. Please give me
some advice.
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles
become plugged with oil and dead skin cells, usually
appearing most prominently on the face, forehead, chest,
upper back, and shoulder areas.
It can cause whiteheads, blackheads or pimples and is
most common amongst teenagers, though it can affect
people of all ages. Hormonal changes such as puberty and
menopause, certain medications, diet, and stress are some
of the main factors that can cause the initial outbreaks.
Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be
persistent. The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when
one begins to go away, others seem to crop up. Depending
on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress, be the
cause of bullying and leave prominent scarring to the skin.
The earlier the treatment is started, the lower the risk of
such problems. Some acnes can even be treated with
specialised aesthetic treatments such as PRP or
mesotherapy.
Seek medical advice, they can advise on skin care and
prescribe medication if necessary. Helping get him get his
acne under control should in-turn help positively improve his
self-confidence.
