Doctor for acne?

Question

If I went to a doctor for my acne, would they still support me? Or atleast associate me with any dermatologists? I don't know where to go to see a dermatologist..

Answer 1

If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.

For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.
Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Answer 3

They'll start you with oral antibiotics and topical gels/washes/creams (all prescription strength). The last stop is the CURE for acne, which is "Accutane". It's a very serious medication (pills) that you take for about 8 months. It's also VERY expensive if insurance doesn't cover it, which is more than you'd be able to afford (~$1000/monthly script). You'd just need your doctor to write a "letter of medical necessity" to your insurance plan to cover it. But, before they'll put you on Accutane (which only a dermatologist can prescribe, no one else), they have to try you out on other stuff.

Of course a Dr. would refer, if that's what you mean, you to a specialist if needed. And, you do need to see a dermatologist for this. I don't know where you live, but look in the phone book or call and ask at the nearest hospital.

depending on how severe your acne, a general doctor may be able to treat you. if it is a severe case or not an area in which the doctor is well versed, the doc may refer you to a dematologist. look in the phone book for a dematologist if you would prefer a specialist.

I had that problem and used Proactive and it cleared up everything. The Dematologist made my skin worse.
Also if you are taking medication that could also cause some breakouts...you could speak with your doctor about that.
