My 7 year old has zits!  We noticed some blackheads in the crease in her chin a few weeks ago, and she's gotten a few actual pimples, too.  greensad.gif  Isn't this too young?!  And what can I do to minimize them?  We use Nelson's Pure and Clear Acne Treatment Gel on the pimples (we've used it for a bit ourselves...we call it "the magic stuff" because it works that well!), but should I add an acne wash as well?  So far she just washes her face with water.  What about diet?  I'm wondering about cutting out or reducing dairy.  She gets about 1/2-1 cup of organic milk at breakfast & dinner, plus 1-3 servings of other dairy most days.  She's not self conscious about it yet & I'm definitely working to keep it low key, but yikes.gif she's only SEVEN!
