Recently we agreed to have our young niece Ally live with us as she settled into College away from home. This turned out to be an adventure for her and an even more interesting experience for us. What came as a surprise to us both was our lesson in Ways to Prevent and Treat Acne.

Ally is a delightful individual with a boyfriend who says she is awesome and plenty of friends. She has always taken great care of her appearance and has a natural interest in fashion. She appears to have most things going for her.

Ally is learning more about us and we are discovering more about her. She is largely independent and we acknowledge the need for her own space but we have needed to deal with a few delicate matters. The first of these was about ways to prevent and treat acne and maintain positive family relations.

Our greatest surprise came when Ally did her first load of washing. We were amazed to see how each of her bath towels was stained with large white marks.

When we inquired about these stains Ally clearly did not want to discuss them. She looked uncomfortable and her only response was that she used white towels at home. As I was replacing the ruined towels with the requested white, I realized the source of the problem was peroxide.

Ally had been using a peroxide-based acne product to treat her acne. Now we understood why she took so long to take a bath and only ever used white towels. This product was fundamental to her ways to prevent and treat acne and it had come somewhat at a cost.

Ally’s secrecy about her acne and the acne medication confused us at the start but then we remembered what is like to be a teenager. Life is challenging enough at this age with self confidence and friendships at the center of this. It wasn’t surprising that Ally did not want to discuss what she was doing even she had the best acne treatment she knew of and it was working for her.

Our genes and our hormones are understood to be the greatest causes of acne. The American Academy of Dermatology research about teenage acne and young adult acne reveals that it is widespread. Around 80 percent of all young people from 11 and 30 suffer from acne at some time and are searching for ways to prevent and treat acne.

Ally is a smart young woman and had found correct information about acne control long before she came to live with us. We are impressed that she has found this way to prevent and treat acne and ignored the many myths about how to get rid of it.

We understand why Ally feels no need to discuss her acne solution with her relatives. We have no intention of raising this with her. We will just maintain the supply of white towels and continue to respect her privacy.
