Acne (Guardian, 2nd March 2002)

My son is 15 has just finished a course of roaccutane that has not helped his acne and he has bad scarring.

During adolescence as the levels of the hormone testosterone rise, it is common for teenage boys to develop acne. These hormonal changes usually coincide with blood impurities, exacerbated by junk food, saturated fats etc. which can lead to an overburdened liver that can't detoxify. Taking cleansing herbs such as burdock, red clover and dandelion can help purify the blood (Anti-acne formula contains these and other herbs to help the skin). To help the scarring, Nutritone lotion includes aloe vera, tea tree and horsetail to help soothe the skin or Rose Mosqueta that can help reduce scarring (all available mail order 01273 570987).
