11-year-old boy has acne on his face

Before reaching puberty, many children around 11 years old will develop a lot of acne on their faces. In fact, this type of acne is what we often call whiteheads, medically known as closed comedones. The treatment method for whiteheads is different from that for acne. So, what methods can help children eliminate whiteheads? Today we introduce several dietary supplement methods, hoping that they will be useful to everyone.

Closed comedones, also known as whiteheads, appear as yellowish-white dots or pimples. Closed comedones are difficult to cure clinically. The cause of closed comedones is excessive thickness of the stratum corneum.

Closed comedones are unstable comedones (closed type) that can easily develop into pustules. Acne can be divided into closed comedones and blackheads. The main reason for closed comedones on the face may be due to poor detoxification of the body, leading to endocrine disorders. Closed comedones are characterized by small, hemispherical white bags the size of rice grains, which are hard in texture and have no subjective symptoms.
