Going to the dermatologist?

i%26#039;m going for the first time just to find a %26#039;solution%26#039; lol to my acne and i don%26#039;t know what to say/do/bring[[?]]... any suggestions?


like... what are they gonna ask?


cuz i want to be prepared to go, so should i have a list of the products i use or something?


...am i going to possibly get asked my face routine or anything?|||Take a list of your products and ones you have tried and how well they did or didn,t do,make a list of questions you want to ask ,list all the drugs you take(legal)and tell him of the not so legal.Tell him of your triggers and what stresses you and when the problem is worst,men have cycles to because they have hormones.|||Hey, so I%26#039;ve been around dermatologist all my life...skin problems as a kid and I have a few family members who are all dermatologists...go figure. Anyway, don%26#039;t worry about a list of products you use or anything like that. Just have in your head an idea of how your acne works kinda...how long it lasts before it starts to clear...is it under the skin or filled and swollen. But honestly, you%26#039;ll be surprised at how much a derm. can tell you just by a quick glance at your skin. If your derm. is experienced then you probably won%26#039;t be showing him or her anything they haven%26#039;t already seen tons of times. Now, as far as what they will give you for your acne....this is in my own experiences and what I%26#039;ve seen, but most will write you prescription for antibiotics. Usually Minocycline or Doxycycline. That%26#039;s basically just a pill you take twice a day and that%26#039;s it. If your acne if very severe they will most likely also give you a cream like Differin to use at night.


-My personal advice...don%26#039;t hesitate to take the antibiotics because I%26#039;ve seen them work wonders on people. I%26#039;ve even used Minocycline and it cleared my face in a matter of weeks.|||u gotta say them all about the things u eat and the products u use..all the best :)
