Dermatologist or Just the Doctor?

If I am interested in getting some acne medication for moderate/severe acne, would I need to go to a dermatologist, or can I just go through my primary doctor? Thanks guys!

Start with your regular doctor. In most countries you would need to see a dermatologist for Tretinoin or Isotretinoin treatments, but your local doctor could start with a trial of antibiotics.

If you don't need a referral, I would go straight to a dermatologist.
