Admin’s Note

The increasing prevalence of acne in younger age groups is indeed a concerning issue. For children, especially those pre-puberty, worries about their appearance can have a significant psychological impact. As lifestyle improvements are needed, it’s essential for parents to understand the importance of proper facial cleansing techniques and early treatment. This is a great opportunity to raise awareness about skin health among children. I was particularly struck by how eager Chako was to learn about specific methods during our conversation.
