A member asked:

My 8 year old brother has a pimple on his face what does this indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing serious: While acne really gets started in puberty, people can have an occasional pimple at any age. It's essentially a plugged up pore. Good washing with a mild soap can help. Avoid picking or popping! if more occur, an over-the-counter acne medication can be used.
