I know that my body is supposed to change durring puberty, but some of these changes I did not expect. Why all the acne? Why all the hair? Why do I smell?
Hair growth is one of the first signs of puberty. This hair growing under arms and on genital areas starts out light and sparse and will eventually get thicker and darker. Men will eventually begin to grow hair on their faces as well.
Acne is triggered by puberty hormones, and can continue after puberty into adolescence Acne and pimples are common on the face, upper back and the upper arms. It is helpful to keep you skin clean in order to prevent acne, and a doctor or medical professional will be able to recommend good methods for preventing breakouts.
Body odor is also a result of puberty hormones. Everyone develops body odor during puberty, and while it is natural, there are ways to keep the smell in-check. Taking showers and wearing deodorant everyday will help keep you smelling nice and clean!
