Bad skin in the summer.
Mark's acne is getting worse as the summer goes on.
He's not turning into a pizza face by any means, but when he does get a break out, they are HUGE zits.
I feel so bad for him because it just sucks to have this giant whitehead on your face.
He had a bad one yesterday, right in the middle of his forehead, and he had to go out to lunch with George and his wife Amy.
He was begging me to do something, so I sterilized a needle, and lanced it so it could drain out.
Gross, I know.
So after it drained and most of the gunk had been gently squeezed out, we cleaned his face really good, and I dabbed on this stuff that is supposed to dry them out quickly.
It looked much better by the time he had to go, so he was very happy.
But I really do need to find him something that will prevent breakouts before they get to monster status.
I'm going to keep looking and hopefully find something that works great before school starts again in August.

I got tired of getting zits at my age, so I went to see a doctor. He prescribed this antibiotic cream which I use once a day, and it works wonders! Unfortunately it can only be used for two months and then you need to take a break. I'm not sure if it would work for Mark, as his zits are "normal" (teenage stuff). Perhaps it might be worthwhile to ask his doctor about it anyway?
