A Link Between ADHD and Acne?
A new report proposes a link between acne and ADHD. The findings, which have not yet undergone the peer-review process, were presented at the annual American Academy of Dermatology meeting last week. The teenager that has acne and ADHD will look the same as the teen who has acne but does not have ADHD. You will know if your teenager has ADHD by their inability to focus at school. Acne has previously been linked to depression–and with good reason. Acne can cause major self-esteem issues which can lead to depression. But this is the first time acne has been shown to have a link to another psychological problem. Teens who suffer from acne can seek effective treatments via Blue Light Therapy and topical antibiotics.
