My eldest niece, Michael Shaine is now 12 and is already asking me so many questions about the physical changes happening in her body, especially about dermatology. Well, with hair and pimples growing in unwanted number, who wouldn’t seek for solutions?
Of course I wish I could tell her to visit a Los Angeles Dermatologist for the answers to her questions, but at her age it is more affirming to start with the explanation of the reasons why she is having oily skin, excess hair and acne.
Simply put, it is better to talk to her first about puberty and that it is a normal thing. More importantly, I shouldn’t forget to let her know that despite the changes she’s going through, she’s still as lovable as before and will always be. With proper guidance and education, I think she wouldn’t ask me a more daring question like “Where could I go for hair removal or acne treatment?”
Oh well, at least she’s not asking info about stretch marks removal yet!
