Most teenagers experience getting spots on their face, and unfortunately some people get more than others. These are caused by your skin getting oilier and have nothing to do with eating chips and chocolate!

Some people find using a special face wash helps, but some people get lots of painful spots called acne and may need medication from their doctor.

Isn’t it always the way – you’ve got a special date coming up or a really important party and suddenly your face erupts in an explosion of pimples. Here are some handy facts about acne, what it is and what to do about it (below).

If you have a question or you are unsure about anything then ask a Talksafe Counsellor or Peer Mentor.

Respite care services are amazing. I found out about 5 years in that most states have services that work with foundations to train and pay family members an hourly wage (up to 40 hours a week, but it's still a 24 hour job) to [...] Was this answer helpful?
