kids and pimples
by ny2125, May 29, 2008 08:44PM
we notice on our one child she will get one pimple (or rather looks like a bug bite) on her cheek area every so often. it goes away as fast as it came. she is 5 yrs. old and has sensitive skin to begin with. can kids get a pimple at this age? at what point would that be acne (i always thought acne was a lot of pimples that stayed for a time)? she is always touching her face and at this moment not the best w/hygiene. any info. would be great. thanks.

Take her to the doctor for evaluation and advice. Childhood acne should never be ignored as it may be a symptom of a hormonal imbalance. My son has childhood acne and we were refered to an endocrinologist who did a wrist x-ray to check his bone growth. She also tested his urine to confirm he was not going into true puberty despite having acne.
