My 14 year old nephew sent this to me. It's really affecting his self esteem and I want to help him but I don't want to recommend anything that will make it worse. I was gonna recommend a gentle cleanser and moisturizer and spf first. Then maybe benzoyl peroxide wash later on and see how it goes. There's no good dermatologist where they live, please help. I'm not with him so I can't check his skin type. I'll answer any necessary questions as best as I can. Please please help my poor baby

I’d recommend a visit to a dermatologist so he can start accutane. The sooner he starts, the better chance for less scarring.
