Yes it's puberty. He really needs to stay away from fast food, and eat plenty of whole grains, lean meats, and fruits and veggies. Especially important to drink lots of water and drinks with antioxidants such as iced tea (green tea and white tea) get plenty of rest, and moderate exercise everyday. He also needs to be sure he's washing his face twice a day, with a water based product, and moisturizing with a water based product. Getting in these habits now will provide him with not only skin health, but health overall.

Could be all of them, but it's normal.

its all of the above but especially puberty

yes..especially if its a girl..because they start puberty earlier than boys..but even if it is a boy..its about that time..some even get it earlier..so yeah..definately normal.

yeah, it's normal. it's puberty. skin gets greasy and nasty. tell him to wash his face.

yes!! it's totally normal!! dont worry...its puberty everyone goes through it just at different times...stress contributes a bit to the break outs.

hoped i helped ya!

i eat well and im 16 but i have pimples i think your son is lucky to have it early in life rather than have it late in high school it is just a part of life that almost everyone has to go through

probably puberty but if you're truly concerned about it take him to a dermatologist and see what they say.

yes. alot of boys start puberty around the age of twelve so dont freak out about it, its normal. make sure u buy him some decent skin care products, those will help the pimples go away and see a dermatologist if its really bad. and make sure he eats a relatively healthy diet anyway.
