One of my sons is eleven years old, going on 12 and wears glasses and his nose is showing signs of acne, anyway I can head possible acne off at the pass?

I wear glasses too, all the time. I would make sure that the part of the glasses that touches the nose is clean. You might want him to start cleaning that part just about everday, just because that's a popular area for sweat to collect.

11 years old is young , what is his eating habbits ? most of the acne problems are related to eating habbits . You should try and get him to eat right . Dose he have any other problems ?

These days, eleven is not very young to have breakouts. My sister has had them since she was about nine or ten, so it's nothing new. The way that the original poster described it only being on his nose, eating habits probably aren't the deal here. My bet is on the glasses, because that used to happen to me too.

You are correct Jewel.
The diet or eating habit is not the cause of this child's acne. It is the glasses. The formation of sweating on the bridge or connection of the glasses cause bacterial infection onto the nose.

That's what I thought it would be. I wear glasses, and I know that sweat collects under the bridge, and it doesn't have a way to get out. That nose piece is rubbing on your skin all the time, giving the bacteria lots of time to sit.

Yes, that might be acne. Eleven years old can also start having acne. Age is not really a factor in the appearance of such because different people have different stages of sexual development. Some may develop at an early age and some at a later stage. The teenage years is only the stage wherein MOST people develop acne.

I guess you just have to let your child wipe bridge of his nose every time he sweats to avoid accumulation of oil.

I would suggest to change the frame and choose one which is extra soft to the nose specially the touching part and clean the place with lotion every morning

You should for sure get the pair changed and get one that would not give him this type of a problem , I would not like the kid to be make fun of in school .

Jewel · 11-11-2007, 10:49 PM

Changing the pair might not make much of a difference, I think that it is just the nosepiece in general. No matter what, it's going to be rubbing against the nose. Just make sure that it is kept clean.
