My daughter is nine years old and has blackheads on her nose. My doctor told us that this is acne. Isn't she too young to have acne? Your doctor is absolutely correct. Acne vulgaris is the term used for plugged pores (blackheads) as well as white pus bumps and deeper cysts. Acne can affect young children often as they begin to enter puberty as well as adults even into their 40's! This is a good time to begin treatment for your daughter's acne because she can probably be treated with a topical medicine. As her acne worsens, if left untreated, she would probable require systemic (oral) treatment. If controlled now, this may be prevented. For early treatment of acne vulgaris, see your dermatologist! | |||||||||
