How can I gain the confidence to ask my mom to go to the dermatologist? I have moderate acne on my face and really want to go to the dermatologist to get a prescription because over-the-counter stuff hasn't had any effect. How should I approach the situation in asking my mom? Thanks guys for any help.

You just have to speak up! Go to her and say mom I would like to see the dermatologist because of my acne can you make an appointment! If you don't want to be upfront with her next time she takes you for a check up say something to your doctor and he or she can make a referral to a good dermatologist. I don't think she will be upset by you asking to see a doctor.. You shouldn't be embarrassed at all she is your mother and has take care of you all your life..

My mom goes to a dermatologist monthly and they are always really nice and helpful. I'm sure your mom will have no problem taking you either. It's not really a big deal. Everyone has acne even celebrities. Just rememeber... it's only a oily pore, whats there to be afraid of?

You do not need a dermatologist .. your regular doctor can prescribe tetracycline for acne Derms cost too much anyway

I'm sure your mom would want to help you. I mean she probably knows your suffering from acne so she'd want you to be happy.

try going to the mall and buy Pro-active, it works as good as what the doctor can prescribe. You must use it twice a day.
