Back to all questions 3
Question Ramesh, an 11 year old boy, developed a few pimples on his face. His mother told him that this is because of ongoing biological changes in his body.
(i) What could be the possible reasons for the development of these pimples on his face?
(ii) What can he do to get some relief from these pimples?
(i) The pimples on Ramesh’s face could be due to the hormonal changes that occur during puberty. During this time, the body produces more hormones, which can make the skin’s oil glands produce more oil. This excess oil can clog the pores, leading to pimples or acne.
(ii) Ramesh can get some relief from pimples if he:
Uses gentle cleanser for his face
Drinks plenty of water
Incorporates a balanced diet into his life
Avoid squeezing or picking the pimples, as it can worsen the condition.
