Hello everyone. I am brand new here, and this is my first post, so I hope I am in the right forum!!!

My name is Heather, and I have had severe acne since I was 12 (which is when my period started as well). Fast forward, now I'm early 30's and still have acne, but not as severe..and lots and lots of scars. I did accutane twice, did everything. However, I recently underwent a hysterectomy for cancer, so now my hormones are way out of whack (they never were right, ever, so I guess that's okay). My skin is very oily, and even with the radiation I had, my acne stayed. It is horibbly EMBARRASSING to be a 30-something and look like you are in high school with zits everywhere. I was a RN before I got sidelined by this cancer and a back injury, and it is SO humiliating to still battle this. I know the lower end of normal for a girl to start puberty is at 8. But 7? Seems kind of iffy to me..but I know what I saw. My COBRA insurance is about to run out since I've been out of work so long for cancer. From then on I'll have to pay cash for medical visits. The derm I used to go to has moved to bigger and better things and in his place is a doc I don't like. there are not a lot of derms in my area. I was hoping and praying shed wouldn't end up with my skin. Her dad has beautiful, smooth skin. I just don't know what to do. Her skin is VERY sensitive to everything and I am at a loss at what to do. Has anyone had a child go through this so YOUNG??? I know how terribly embarrassing it is to have acne, especially severe acne, and I would do just about anything to prevent my kids from having the same ordeal with acne and horrible doctors who didn't even care!!! When I was going through it, most of them said "Hey, you'll outgrow it!" or "It's what's inside that counts" or something stupid like that. Yes, of course, we all have some beautiful insides, but only if you grew up with severe, cysts all over your face, whitehead and blackheads galore...no one takes the time to care about what you're like on the inside. They're too busy laughting at you!!!

My daughter already is suffering of extreme anxiety, and this is just making things worse!!! And, she keeps picking, which of course I have told her not to, but she doesn't listen. Sigh. I know she will get picked relentlessly.

Unfortunately it sounds like your daughters acne is hereditary, as was yours. But all I can tell you is I have been using FaceDoctorRx For three years and it has really helped my acne. I am a 26 year old and still have acne, actually I didn't start getting it bad until I was 18, when I went through some serious stressful events. I think my hormones are also out of whack and I have the worst period cramps, think I have endemetriosis or something. But the only thing I can recommend is what worked for me. i tried Proactiv and lots of other treatments to no avail, maybe you should take her to see a hormone therapist, maybe you can find out if her hormones are out of whack or something. Sorry I can't give any better advice, keep searching someone has to know what you're going through.

hey guys...i lost my internet for a while (no money

anyway, my 7 year old still has bumps along her nose and between her eyes, and even around her nose. they are venturing out. i don't know if any of you have or have seen babies, but it looks VERY similar to milia which is a kind of "baby acne" that they have at birth. her acne is NOT red, maybe pinkish, with almost "clear" heads instead of "whiteheads" if that makes any sense.

I usually wash her face with Purpose (i help her cause she doesn't really care, like most kids...lol) and last night i even used an astringent on her nose. I am really at a loss here, I have no insurance now. I can't afford to take her to a derm right now. I have to save what I can for her REAL serious medical problems, as well as mine.

Oh well. I guess no one here's seen kids with this type of "acne". And also, to the poster who said my acne was hereditary, no one on either side of my family, at least six generations back has had acne. I was the one who made up for all of them, I guess.

Well I'm not 7 like your little girl, but I do have hormonal problems which is probably why I first experienced acne when I was 18. I think I briefly told you about my hormonal issues on another reply in this section.

In that reply I mentioned Face Doctor Rx, since then I have created a blog dedicated to Face Doctor Rx, you can read more about my experiences and how Face Doctor cured my acne: This Stuff Cured My Acne You can also look it over, ingredients and all and see if you think it looks like a product that might help. Believe me I was skeptical at first, but since it worked I don't ask anymore questions, I just go with it.

Hey I would recommend that you check out a free guide which actually helped me cure my acne. It has topics on both acne for kids and adults.
The link is in my signature, but still I will put it up here.
Free acne guide

I am not affiliated with the site in anyway. The book is really informative so I am putting it up here.

Hope I helped.
Regards Hari
