The Most Common Skin Concerns in Teens
From stubborn teenage acne and oily skin to childhood conditions like eczema and hemangiomas, young skin faces a unique set of challenges. Our dermatologists see many teenagers. They prioritize your skin’s long-term health and resilience, avoiding generic, one-size-fits-all solutions.
Acne & Breakouts
Breakouts happen when hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to a mix of whiteheads, blackheads, and deeper, painful pimples, often influenced by hormonal shifts and stress.
Oily & Combination Skin
This common concern involves overactive oil glands, leading to a persistent shine, enlarged pores, and a greasy feel. Combination skin means some areas are oily while others, like the cheeks, might be dry.
Hemangiomas
These common red birthmarks are made of extra blood vessels that form a raised, soft bump on the skin. Often called “strawberry marks”, they usually appear during infancy and can change in size over time.
Eczema
This condition causes patches of intensely itchy, dry, and inflamed skin that can sometimes crack or weep. Flare-ups can be triggered by weather, allergens, or stress, causing significant discomfort for children and teens.
