ACNE - In your skin, there are
thousands of tiny openings called pores that allow your skin to breathe. When these pores get plugged
(up) with dirt and oil, they get (all) red and inflamed and pimples form. 'When
someone has many pimples, perhaps on their face, their back, or their chest, we
say they have acne. Many people get acne when they become a teenager. That's
when our bodies start changing from a kid's to an adult's body (this period is
called 'puberty'). For normal acne, a dermatologist (a doctor for your skin)
will prescribe a lotion to put on the acne to help clear it up in a few
weeks.

At one time or another this may have happened to you. During the
night while you are sleeping, your muscle which holds the urine inside your
body relaxes and lets it all run out. This is nothing to be alarmed or
embarrassed about and there are a number of reasons why this happens such as
infections, allergies or just being in a very deep sleep. It is really not
necessary to receive treatment until school age at which time a doctor might
suggest some medications or monitoring systems (where a special alarm wakes you
when you start to wet your pj's.)
