my dermatologist perscribed me a face wash and two gels for my acne..ive been using them for about a week now and my acne is still there although ive got some dry patches now..but no loss of acne. do you think it will eventually clear up..like does this stuff take time? or does that mean it probably just isnt gonna work on me?
any knowledge will help!
thanks so much!

For the dry parts, ask your dermatologist for a moisturizer. Mine gave me some that worked amazingly, but I can%26#039;t remember what its called...sorry!|||There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It was even televised on TV.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It has been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)
Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.
This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:
Search up %26quot;best acne solution ever%26quot; on ebay.
First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can buy the whole container for $160
It%26#039;s expensive, but the product DOES work.
My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don%26#039;t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
I hope this helps. =)|||Most prescription acne medications appear to worsen within the first month but will clear up.
It takes time for it to fully heal and go away and sometimes you might have to use it after it goes away to make sure it doesn%26#039;t come back.

Dermatologist? Dentist? Veterinarian? (Career Choice Question)?
I%26#039;m a high school junior and I%26#039;m aware I don%26#039;t need to make any career choices just yet. However, I am very interested in dematology, dentistry, and the idea of being a veterinarian. I was just curious if anyone could walk me through the steps to either or both careers. What schooling/grades are necessary? Average salaries starting out, salaries once you%26#039;ve been in the field a while. If either a dentist or a dermatologist could answer and give feedback, that would be greatly appreciated!
I get fairly good grades. Unweighted GPA is over 4.0, weighted GPA is much higher. I%26#039;ll graduate with 8 AP courses, lots of honors and CP.... I don%26#039;t know what grades are necessary to get into any of the above fields...?|||Don%26#039;t stress out too much about what you%26#039;re going to do in life. MANY college students change their majors multiple times and have no idea what they want to do right away. With your academic standing and awesome grades, I%26#039;m sure you can get into any school you want if you try hard. Worst comes to worst, just go in undeclared. The undeclared major is one of the most popular and highest numbering majors in most colleges. Either way, you knock out most of your general education courses in your first 1 or 2 years, and then leave a nice open path to choose which field you want to major in.
Heck, even if you major in something, get a degree in it, and find out that you want to go a different way in life, go for it! A college degree isn%26#039;t a prison sentence! Do what makes you happy, and don%26#039;t do it for the money.
If you%26#039;re looking for straight out money, be a dentist. They really rack in the dough.
But do what your heart tells you to do. And talk A LOT with your guidance counsellor. They can tell you all the answers.
Good luck!|||u better have all As throughout high school and college to do any of that stuff|||i need to say here as an educator you should just aim for your heart%26#039;s desire even if it is tough to achieve.
don%26#039;t forget that you will be doing the same job in every moment of your life after you start working and it will cover the greatest part of your life generally speaking.
also bear in mind that sometimes life opens and closes different paths and shows us things that we may have never even considered if the situation hadn%26#039;t been so.
i don%26#039;t know what career i would be pursuing now if i hadn%26#039;t been expelled from high school for no apparent reason but that made me want to become a teacher and now i am teaching English at a collage as a lecturer and am on my way to becoming a professor.
who knows, maybe in a few years you will just discover a special talent of yours towards an artistic or athletic career or recieve an offer which you can not refuse =).
good luck in life...

Dermatologist question!?
I get prescribed Econazole Nitrate Cream 1% for a skin condition. Is there anything I can use over the counter?
I don%26#039;t have insurance and don%26#039;t want to pay a $90 office visit to be prescribed this stuff.
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.
I have asked this before and got one answer. They told me to use Proactive. But they didn%26#039;t tell me what product and if there were any special instructions. This is not for acne of any kind if this is what they thought.
Thank you.|||I would look up your prescription medication on the Internet and see what condition it is used for. See if the conditions that are listed ring a bell as far as what type of skin condition you have. Without knowing the condition you have, I wouldn%26#039;t want to tell you what to use.
I would also suggest that you talk to your pharmacist to see what he/she has to say about anything over the counter.
Good Luck!|||It would help a great deal if you could tell what the skin condition is.|||First of all, a fungal skin infection should not go untreated as it can spread %26amp; cause scarring as well as skin discoloration. Proactive is for acne only, NOT fungal skin infections. You need a prescription drug to control %26amp; eradicate the fungus.
Second, educate yourself fully about your condition. Ask your doctor what preventive measures you should take to control or eliminate outbreaks. What caused this outbreak in the first place? Can you change your diet? Should you change your personal hygiene regimen? What can you do to improve your condition as well as make it worse?
Third, your doctor needs to keep an eye on your skin condition, which is why you need an appointment before he%26#039;ll provide prescription refills. However, if your general practitioner is treating you, you really ought to ask for a referral to a dermatologist for specialized treatment of skin diseases/disorders. The fungal infection may take several months to clear up. If this is not the case, you really need to be more proactive %26amp; aggressive with your doctor.
Last, ask your doctor if another, less expensive drug preferably a generic one, would be as effective as Econazole Nitrate. Whatever s/he prescribes, ask him/her to provide you with a prescription stating that a generic substitute is permissible AND a prescription that has several refills. Also ask him/her whether or not s/he has free samples of the drug that he can provide you.

Dermatologist questions?
My dermatologist says I should take Cetaphil to relieve my rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis on my skin. I can describe my rosacea as being very blotchy,pimply and red. It is even pimply under my breast, my arm pits, neck, behind ears, and face. As for my seborrheic dermatitis it is extremely dry. I have moderate to high severity of rosacea. Aren%26#039;t they%26#039;re drying effects and other ingredients in cetaphil that will make it more red and dry. What other ingredients in other products besides those in cetaphill will make my skin breakout? I want to avoid those products. I am having a breakout right now but can%26#039;t reach my dermatologist until may 22nd. I have tried eucerin sensitive facial skin daily perfecting lotion in spf 15 and that only made my skin very red and dry. What ingredients are doing this? Are there other creams you can recommend to me please? I don%26#039;t want my skin to look this bad until the 22nd. I want something that is over the counter that I can buy at any drugstore possibly. Thank you. I don%26#039;t have alot of money to spend as of now. Possibly something that is $25 or under.|||Hi! I used to work for a derm. and he would always recommend ceraVe wash and lotion. It is very gentle and when I use it it makes my face soooooo soft. They sell it in cvs, rite aide. It costs $10-$12 a bottle. Good Luck!

It%26#039;s also about 8-10 dollars.

Dermatologist or Urologist?
I have this condition. Whenever I rub my penis either during foreplaying or masturbating...no matter how gentle I do it, it hurts..afterwards, my penis kinda becomes swollen-like..I have chumps-like of swollen skins on my penis( wherever I touched it)..I also feel that my penis is very heavy. Also the internal skin of my penis become very red. it stays that way for a couple of hours and goes away a couple of hours, 8 or more. I don%26#039;t have health insurance, so should i go see a dermatologist or urologist?|||Definetely a Urologist, Planned parenthood has a free clinic.
Dermatologist/Dentist and fear of needles?
When I was ten I had to go five times to a foot doctor and every time I got three shots. Which were extremely painful. I also went to the dentist twice in the same month that year, and both times they gave me a shot in the gums. Needless to say, that hurt like hell too.
Ever since then whenever I see or think about a needle, I start crying, shaking, and hyperventilating.
Today my grandma got home and told me that she made both an appointment at the dermatologist and the dentist for tomorrow. I have a plantar wart on my toe, and it actually has been going away on it%26#039;s own. But I don%26#039;t want either of them to get close to me with a needle. I%26#039;m going to the dentist for a filling. Obviously, I%26#039;m really scared...
I%26#039;ve tried getting out of the appointments, and it didn%26#039;t work. Is there any way to get over the fear, by tomorrow morning?|||Ask your dentist if he offers nitrous to calm you before the shot. Also a topical numbing cream will be put on the gums to help make the shot less painful. Remember that a tooth ache is far worse than a shot to fill and prevent a worse situation. Take it easy and talk to the dentist and skin
dr. to explain your fears and they will surely put you at ease.|||just don%26#039;t think about it. i%26#039;m almost the same way. needles freak me out, but if i concentrate on something else i don%26#039;t freak out and almost run away from the doctor haha. i really do freak out if i think about it though. ughhhhh! i hate needles!

Dermatologist prescription works, but leaves my skin dry and flaky. Help?
The things that my dermatologist prescribed me are working great. My skin is really clearing up. My only problem is that I do not think that they are %26#039;exfoliating%26#039; my skin and removing the dead skin, leaving it dry and flakey most of the time, even though I do moisterize.
He told me not to use other products than what was prescribed, as well.
Any ideas or tips as to how to make my skin less flaky and dry? Or good moisterizers that won%26#039;t irritate my treated skin and/or cause breakout?

Dermatologist recommended skin care?
I have combination skin, extremely dry around my lips and chin, normal on my cheeks, forehead and nose. I have mild acne but whatever acne treatment I buy completely dries out my skin and eventually the mild acne returns. I have some whiteheads and a few flat red spots under the skin that are always there. No acne on my forehead, mostly around my chin and some around my nose, but as I said, it%26#039;s light. I want to have flawless skin, but this seems unlikely as my annoying combination skin is always so tight and even flakes on the skin around my mouth. And before you ask yes I use an exfoliant, a cleanser, a moisturizer ...

One other possibility is keratosis pilaris. This is a plugging of the follicle and happens on the areas you%26#039;re having trouble with. Usually, you can feel these as very small bumps, but maybe you have a mild case. OTC Lac-Hydrin 12% lotion will help reduce the appearance, but not completely.
Hope any of that helps...|||let insurance company pay your medical/health bills

I DONT REALLY GET ANY ACNE, JUST WHITE HEADS, AND I CANT HELP BUT POP THEM WHEN I GET THEM, I CANT STAND LETTING THEM GET BIG|||Go see a dermatologist, would be the best thing. But you might want to use an exfoliant. Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is amazing if you can afford it. Chemical exfoliants are better but usually more expensive. A good scrub or wash cloth would do.

Dermatologist experiences ?!?
I am a guy and ever since i cut my hair short i have been noticing a lot of white flakes all over my hair ( dandruff, dry scalp or whatever !!). I have tried using various shampoos and even tried a couple of home remedies but haven%26#039;t noticed much of a change. One of my friends told me about this one this one dermatologist who successfully treated my firend%26#039;s scalp when he had chronic dandruff. I have also made an appointment with the same doctor for tomorrow but I am really freaking out about seeing a dermatologist. I dunno why but i am. Also i am not very comfortable with people putting their hands into my hair.. would the dermatologist do that too ?|||Are u serious??? I mean do u cut ur hair urself? Color urself? Straighten urself, do the deep conditioning treatments urself???
Do u like walk into a salon and say hey i am not comfortable with people touching my hair?? My guess is no..
Honestly dermatologist wont really like have to touch ur hair so much.. I mean one look at it and they will recommend u with medicated shampoos, some vitamin tablets probably. And probably some other remedies which u will have to do all by urself. So stop getting paranoid. And get ur drandruff treated like a good boy.|||yes they will have to put their hands in your hair. its no harm!|||did you try slsun blue i had very bad dandruff and so did my mom as soon as we started using it they went away. if you use it every other day or everyday it will work i think it did for me and befor that i used all types of stuff and nothing worked untill this try it befor you go and pay too much money of a dermotoligist|||well he would have to see the dandriff so he mighu touch you bet its not that bad most of em just look at your skin or hair and give you a prescription and the end well when i went that was ti i was out in under 30 min

Dermatologist help!! i have a hole in my arm that wont stop oozing puss.How do i make it stop??
I am a 28 yr Old male. I had a growth that developed from a pimple or bite on my arm that sort of healed over and became hard and dry skin. It would itch and i would scratch it. After 2 years i decided to get it removed. My local GP performed the Excsission. The results came back that it was nothing serious and probably just a oimple or bite that was continually infected from my scratching it. After 12 days the bandage and stiches were removed and it was healing nicely. But it never did heal. It opened up again and it would never skin over. If i leave it uncovered to dry out , it never scabs as there is fluid coming out from the inside. I went back to my GP and he recomended using DUODERM. After weeks of using this product, it continuessly sucks out puss from the wound! WIll it ever stop?? IS there something else i out there that i can try?|||It sounds like you may need an antibiotic to clear up the infection before it will heal. If you haven%26#039;t taken one since this all stared, I would talk to your doc about that. It could be a staph infection or something that really needs to be treated soon so that it doesn%26#039;t get worse. Good luck and God bless.|||have you been tested for that new strain of staph infection?
it doesn%26#039;t show up in alot of tests, and you seem to be describing it to a tee....|||O wow, check with the doc that you might be at the beginning of something called Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I had something similar on my calf muscle and a year later I kept getting them in other places... then it becomes for frequent. Its worth a check.

Dermatologist , anyone , beauty ?
i%26#039;ve heard that waxing facial hair makes hair grow back thicker and faster but some people said that it is the opposite.
i dont know what to believe.
is waxing a good solution to upper lip hair ? long term effect ?
can you get a pill that stop facial hair without prescription ?
about ingrown hair , why is it in my country (asia) no one gets ingrown hair but went i came to the US i started getting it. what is the cause ?
i mean, when i went but to my country they rarely know what it is and ask me if i have health problem.
it is the same with cellulite, we dont have it in my country.
plz tell me if you have experience each situation yourself or if you are educated in the medical field|||1. Waxing is the solution to the problem. It is often not permanent. Not every individual hair grows back, some are completely eradicated, although repetition is necessary.
2. The long term effect is nothing other than irritation and a increased or decreased neural sensitivity in the area. I know it hurts. You could be sensitized, or numbed, we don%26#039;t know.
3. You can not stop or retard hair growth without a female hormone prescription.
4. Ingrown hair is in a culture of people who shave that hair, wherever it may be. You knew that. Perhaps the other more sensible answer is that you are somehow exposed to testosterone or steroids in diets or meats in the US. This is present in male cows, since females are milking, and in male chicken (rooster), turkeys (toms), which we eat, not the females. More shaving is necessary.
5. Cellulite. On a pure diet of low fats, fish and Omega 3%26#039;s which assist in digestion and regularity because of low cholesterol, fatty deposit %26amp; cellulite is not encouraged. In the US, we eat a greater variety, not as healthy, not organic, and containing all kinds of lipids, hormone additives from the female standpoint as well, and insoluble fats that leave their deposit.|||I experienced bunch of differences in my body once I came to US. If you eat meat maybe one of the reasons. They use sometimes hormonal food which may mess with your methabolism and function of your body. I would keep myself on ahealthy diet and eat less meat.|||waxing will delay the hair growth as it will pull the hair from its root. it will take more time for the hair to grow back and it is better than hair removal creams or threading. cellulite and ingrown hair is common problem. when you dont do the waxing properly hair tends to grow inwards the skin. you have to cut down on carbohydrates and fatty foods to get rid of cellulite

Dermatologist or doctors, help for science project?
Hi, for my science class, we had to chose a skin disease and I chose Psoriasis. I had to find the cause, but it seems to be not discovered yet. Do you know the cause? Or, in which layer of the skin do the skin cells reproduce? Do people who have psoriasis have a problem with this layer? And how do you call skin cells? I read on a lot of sites that psoriasis has a link with the immune system, does it? I know I have a lot of questions but if you know the answers please answer. Thank you a lot!

Dermatologist terminology question?
About a year ago, i went to the dermatologist for a smooth, flat red spot on my cheek. i thought it was a pimple for the longest time, but then it didn%26#039;t go away. i had it for over a year. i was sick of covering it up. anyway, the dermatologist told me what it was called, but i can%26#039;t remember the name. She said it was a cluster of tangled blood vessels and that it simply needed to be lasered to remove it. she lasered it and it went away. now, it%26#039;s back, and it%26#039;s really bothering me that i can%26#039;t remember the name of it. Does anyone know what this thing is called? if not, is there any way i can email a random dermatologist and ask them?|||It could be any of the following

Dermatologist question?
My friend who has mild acne is a vegetarian and he gets like most protein through dairy products, milk and cheeses. Like a few minutes ago I saw a link to the milk blog or sumthing and it said milk can cause acne. I dont want to freak him out but like shuld he be corcerned. is the dairy/milk thing causing acne true? what is it about milk that causes it. does fat free milk have a different effect than regular milk? i dont really want to tell him cuz he like works out and has a lot of dairy protein and if he cut dairy it would like super reduce his protein?
what should i tell him to do?|||Milk is actually proven that it can cause acne, doesn%26#039;t mean it will. The hormones in milk messes with your own bodies hormones.

Dermatologist said to not moisturize?
I finally went to the dermatologist today for my acne.
Right now its mostly just post acne scars and a little redness
(thank god my acne is calming down!)
Well I showed him what I used.
Face wash
another product
and finally
a moisturizer.
He told me that I should use a moisturizer
that it would just clog up my pores.
I told him I run in the morning and asked if sunscreen was okay
he said it was fine. Just to wash it off after.
I had always though moisturizer was good.
Now my face gets oily so its not very dry.
But I just wondering
without moisturizer won%26#039;t my makeup not go in as smoothly?
Any comments would be appreciated :)|||wow...my dermatologist said the same thing. My dermatologist is actually renowned here in nyc. anyways...if you really need moisturizer..use a noncomedogenic oil-free moisturizer. He probably said not to use yoru moisturizer because it wasn%26#039;t oil-free and it wasn%26#039;t noncomedogenic. noncomedogenic means it doesn%26#039;t clog pores btw. but if he said not to use moisturizer period..i would listen to him. hes the one who studied and went to med school which took YEARS!!! he knows more than anyone here on Y!A unless some dermatologist use Y!A. dont use moisturizer. i know its hard. you get so tempted. i get tempted too. ahh...MUST RESIST!!!and im surprised he said not to wear makeup as a lot clog pores.
however, your dermatologist said to wash off your sunscreen?? W-WHAT??? prescription acne products make you more sensitive to the sun and require sunscreen. my dermatologist stressed the sunscreen part. this time...go against the doctor%26#039;s orders. wear sunscreen. amke sure its oil-free and noncomedogenic.
EDIT**** despite what Marty C is saying...I would listen to your dermatologist. She didn%26#039;t go to med school. He did. Plus my dermatologist told me the same too. I have oil/combination skin so maybe thats why. So if its not just your dermatologist saying it...and its also my dermatologist...they must be right. although you really do need sunscreen. those prescription products make you more sensitive to the sun.
and btw...to solve your makeup problem. use primer. it will act as a canvas for your makeup and will create a barrier between your skin and makeup so it wont clog your pores. I recommend the Smashbox Photofinish primer.|||This is the most ridiculous advice i have ever heard from somebody who considers them self a doctor.

You NEED MOISTURIZER!! i%26#039;ll tell you why. without moisturizer, your skin is dry. when your skin is dry, your oil glands have to work to moisturize your skin. it will make your skin oily and nasty, making you break out more. YOU HAVE TO USE MOISTURIZER!
here are some GREAT non-greasy ones.
for a budget: clean and clear oil-free morning glow moisturizer.
for department stores: clinique dramatically different moisture|||if you have oily skin you don%26#039;t need a moisturizer because your skin is naturally moistened. Try a creamy foundation(water base) with spf15....it works for me!

I am only 14 and it rlly bothers me.
I haven%26#039;t gone to a dermatologist because I wasn%26#039;t sure if they could actually help me any. Can they ? And what could they do to get rid of the puffiness ? The reason i never asked my mom to take me is because im very insecure about it. I dont know i jus dont feel comfortable asking her. So tips on what to say would help(=. Dont give me home remedies because i%26#039;ve tried them all nd none of them work. Jus please help me.|||What you think is a blaringly obvious flaw is probably not even noticed by others. When you are a teenager you are egocentric which means that you are very focused on you and how others perceive you. I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;re beautiful and you will learn later in life when you have your own children that there is no greater fountain of knowledge, help and support other than your Mom. Talk to her, she%26#039;ll help you.

Dermatologist or endocrinologist? (PCOS)?
I%26#039;m a 17 yr old girl recently diagnosed with PCOS...my regular doctor just tested my blood levels and saw that my testosterone was high. She prescribed trinessa (birth control) which had caused my periods to become regular, but my acne hasn%26#039;t really cleared up (I think I have cystic acne).
My question is, would it be best to see an endocrinologist first, or the the derm?|||I%26#039;d say endocrinologist and then a dermatologist.
Also, if you don%26#039;t mind me asking, are you overweight?
I have PCOS and a lot of my symptoms (excess hair and acne) were a lot worse than %26quot;normal%26quot; because I was overweight.
I also recommend you look into following a low GI diet (for life). Like I said, I was overweight and had many horrible symptoms, but after losing weight, the symptoms have now virtually disappeared.
Good luck.

I use this website to keep me on the right track with foods I can eat (low GI) and foods I need to be aware of and have limited amounts of (high GI).

Dermatologist question....?
I have to use Econazole Nitrate Cream, 1% for my skin. Is there anything over the counter I can use as a substitute? I have no insurance and don%26#039;t want to pay for an office visit then the prescription if theres another option. Why pay a $90 office visit when I don%26#039;t even need a visit. Just need a prescription written for me.
So if anyone can help, please help. Thank you. I know there has to be something effective out there that will substitute this.|||i had the same problem.. its all expensive there are some out there that are cheap but are not that good in my opinion.. i bought some proactive it works soo good and you dont have to have a perscription you can get it at malls and online.. goodluck

Dermatologist Needed!?
Im hoping that I can get a real dermatologist%26#039;s adivce on what to do with my skin.
I dont have acne. The only place I usually get pimples is in my T-zone. My nose and chin tend to peel alot. When I get pimples they are usually deep under the skin and hurt alot. Not the kind you can just get rid of in a few days. I tend to pick at my face alot, but I%26#039;m trying to stop.
What products, or routines can I use that will help me achieve perfect skin?!
Thank you.
Experienced answers only please.|||Only your skin can give you the best answer -
Typically use really pure and natural products for your face.
Stick to the regime twice a day and implement a scrub twice a week and a mask once a week -
Some great acne regimes are acne free or Clear Advantage by Arbonne -
since you don%26#039;t have a solid acne problem you could choose aveeno or nutregena products too but find a wash - toner and moisturizer for your dry spots and perhaps a stridex pad for the oily t zone.
At night you can take a hot compress to draw out dirt and deep seated pimples (heat compress in micro for double warmth) and do a deep cleaning mask once a week (try one that warms up)
and twice a week exfoliate - to break up dirt or deep pimples (surfacing them).
Take vitamins a e and c and zinc
water (8 + glasses)
diet (watch junk)
and be sure to know your skin could get worse before it adjusts.. after 30 days no results try a new product regime.
Be consistent and to much = break outs.|||First let me say that I am NOT a dermatologist. I do work with skin though. I am a customer service rep with a product called Proactiv Solution. I have worked with many different skin types in the past 2 and 1/2 years. Now Proactiv Solution is not something for everyone and I am not going to tell you to try it unless you think you would like to. I am going to tell you what is going on with your skin and the different routes you do have. First, your acne type is pretty sever in the fact that the blemishes are deep. This form of acne is called cystic acne. They tend to be hard knot like blemishes that very rarely surface. Most often it is caused by excessive dryness, hence your peeling skin. When I get a customer who describes this type of acne issue I recomend 2 things. Hydration via lots of water and an oil free, non comegenic (meaning it wont clog your pores) moisturizer. And also a good regemin to cleanse, tone and refine your skin. Now there are lots of different products that do this, with Proactiv being one of them. And there are 2 main acne products or chemicals that will help you alivate your issue. I would first try something that contains a chemical called salycilic acid. This is a gentle acne fighting agent that would not intensify your skin issue. You really need to stick with it for at least 4 months on proper and continual usage to really see results. The reason why I say this is because acne is not an instantanious %26quot;curable%26quot; skin condition, as there is no cure for acne issues. There is good news though, as acne is MAINTAINABLE. If you find that the salycilic acid is not strong enough then you would need a product with benzoyl peroxide. You need to be careful with benzoyl peroxide though because it could take your already dry skin and make it worse. Either way you go you need to get the moisturizer going to get your skin hydrated because when you have dry skin, it is your skin cells causing a blockage in your pores. When you get a blockage, your oil glands become more active and try to push it out and it can%26#039;t because skin is too heavy to move like that. Thus causing your acne issue. With me working for Proactiv Solution I hear lots of great sucess stories with the product. If you are interested in trying it, you could call customer service and ask to start off with the Gentle Formula Kit. This kit will cost you 45.90 every 2 months so you can get your skin under control. If you chose to look into other products I can refer you to some. Starting with a product called Arbon. You can google it to get more info. There is also a product calle Ance Free. This product is similar to Proactiv as it has the 3 steps and it is a benzoyl peroxide based product, and is cheaper then Proactiv Solution, BUT we find that the results are kinda hairy... meaining it either works extremely well or it makes matters much much worse as the acne fighting ingredient is milled differently. I will let you know that if you can not find a moisturizer that you are comfortable with Proactiv does have one called the Oil Free moisturizer with SPF 15. If you join the club with the actual kits it can be added to your kit for just 10 bucks, or purchased seperately at 19.95. If you don%26#039;t join the club you can still get it at retail price for 25.00. Also, you may want to consider talking to a dermatologist and seeing about acutane if nothing else works. Acutane is kinda a scarey product but if nothing works, that might be your best choice of action. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions feel free to email me. :-) Have a great day!|||you need to kill the bacteria.
you need to clear the pores.
use a product with salicylic acid, like clear pore astringent with a clean cotton pad twice daily.
use benzoyl peroxide wipes to kill the bacteria. use wipes because the cream can get in your eyes!
No picking!! Picking is like akin to a farmer planting his fields.
If this doesn%26#039;t work (wait a month and see) go to a dermatologist.
I suffer as well.|||I like you didn%26#039;t have horrible acne. I would get a few here and there. And the acne that is under your skin, those are cysts. They hurt very badly and never really go away, they just go down. The only way to get rid of them is by getting injections into them at the dermatologist.
As for the dry skin, drink more water. And make sure you use lotion on your face every night.
As far as face washes go, use Neutrogena face soap bar. It%26#039;s orange and very cheap. It will help clean your face without over drying it.
DO NOT use Proactiv. It only made my face worse and it was semi expensive.
If you do end up going to a dermatologist, talk to them about Accutane. I have been using it for awhile now and I have yet to see a pimple in the last 5 months.

stop covering it up after he prescribes you meds or it won%26#039;t work as quickly or as well.
my face cleared up really quickly.
it%26#039;ll be noticeable in a few weeks.
the shots only work for like HUGE zits. they don%26#039;t poke every zit on your face.|||my friends doctor gave him this pill to take to clear it up an now you cant even tell he had bad acne. i have been trying to use the proactiv but it dont really work. but you should get mineral make up an itsway better for your skin.

Dermatologist.....?? dont know what to do...?
I need to go to a dermatologist. umm...first i dont know any in my area (ill look in the fonebook of course) but anyways. how much does it cost generally?
but i need to go to see if i have cancer.
see. long story short. my older sister had a mole above her eyebrow. and it was cancerous. and they removed it. but no promises of the cancer not coming back. and it did, but in her brain. and tumors were forming. and she passed away.
now i have a mole above my eyebrow. and i need to get this checked asap! how much would it cost? oh. and i dont have health insurence.|||I dont know about your area, but it may cost somewhere between $40-$60. When I changed jobs, I changed insurance, and lo and behold my current dermatologist didnt take that insurance, so I paid full price and didnt go back to him. I paid $55 I think.
You cant put a price on your life. Especially since you have a family history of cancer, go to a dermatologist ASAP.|||Call a dermatologist and ask how much it costs for an office visit. We can only give you guesses on the cost, and if a biopsy is needed, there is another charge for lab work. I am very sorry about your sis.

Dermatologist and acne pills?
So i%26#039;m going to see a dermatologist for the first time thursday for back and chest acne. I don%26#039;t have horrible amounts, but i am constantly broken out which limits my clothing options a whole lot, and brings down my self esteem big time.
I have have a few questions about the visit,
will i be able to be prescribed a pill (not a cream) on my first visit?
This may sound weird, but i was wondering if acne pills had any affects on the size of your boobs like birth control does?
how long does it usually take for a pill to start working?
thanks(:|||There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.
It was even televised on TV.
It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It%26#039;s been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)

My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.
I don%26#039;t have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.
I hope this helps. =)|||I had an acne problem a couple years ago, just mild to moderate, like you. My first visit i was prescribed a pill and a cream (minocycline and tazorac, respectively). They weren%26#039;t very effective, so I went back for another visit a month later and was upgraded to tetracycline and a stronger version of tazorac. These were also ineffective. My dermatologist was very busy. and i couldn%26#039;t get another follow up appointment, so i went to my normal doctor, who prescribed me Acutane. I saw results from it in about two and a half to three weeks. It is a serious medication, so it will be your doctor%26#039;s last resort more than likely. It requires female patients to be on birth control and to have monthly pregnancy tests, as it can cause severe birth defects if you become pregnant for the six months you take it or for up to six months after. Regardless of sex, patients of the drug must be administered monthly blood tests, as the drug can negatively affect liver and kidney function. Taking everything into account. though, it was absolutely worth it to have the clear skin I have now.

Dermatologist or birth control?
So, I%26#039;ve tried everything. My esthetician says that most of my acne is hormonal, and it would help for me to get on birth control. I%26#039;ve looked around and Yasmin seems to be a good one. I%26#039;m 19, and I do have really bad cramps and my period is very irregular. Or, would it be better for me to just go to a dermatologist and get a pill for the acne? Oh, and I%26#039;m not sexually active. The problem isn%26#039;t with hygiene either, I keep my body clean.|||I%26#039;d get the birth control. You%26#039;ll have the added benefit of better and predictable periods, and it probably will help with the acne. If it doesn%26#039;t work, then go see a dermatologist. It%26#039;s kinda a win-win. Even if it doesn%26#039;t work for your acne, your periods will be easier, and then you can go to plan b. Oh, and a huge fraction of people on birth control aren%26#039;t actually doing it for the birth control, but for reasons like yours. The majority of teens on birth control aren%26#039;t sexually active, dunno about adults though. Anyway, it%26#039;s not unusual at all to go on it w/out being sexually active, and you don%26#039;t really have anything to lose from taking it. If it is hormonal like your esthetician says, there%26#039;s a good likelihood that it will help you.|||I have acne too, so I found a nurse practitioner in my area that specializes in skin conditions. She%26#039;s not a dermatologist (so not as expensive), but my acne has improved. She put me on Yaz birth control along with a few medications specifically for acne-differin gel and Septa as a mild antibiotic. She also told me to wash my face with Cetaphil antibacterial cleanser and not use any products with sacrylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Seems to have worked fairly well :-) I think dermatologists are expensive, so your best bet is to see a regular doctor that knows how to treat acne or specializes in skin conditions. You can try going on Yaz first, see if that works and if it doesn%26#039;t, then go see a dermatologist. Good luck!|||So I%26#039;m almost 17 and was pretty much in the same boat. Getting on birth control does help, but it doesn%26#039;t cure acne completely. Plus, you get all the added benefits of the pill- shorter periods, cramps almost rid of completely. So I do suggest that. But if you want it gone completely (as in, it%26#039;s pretty bad) I would see a dermatologist in addition to getting on the pill. Warning though: I was prescribed pills for acne and it was an awful experience. You usually have to take the medications on an empty stomach, and they%26#039;re very strong. I was sick to my stomach literally every day. I could help you out a little more if you said where you had the acne? Some topical creams are really good but if you have it on your chest or back they bleach clothes bad. If it%26#039;s just on your face I would talk to a dermatologist about those first. Good luck. (:|||I think your difficulty is primarily hormonal and birth control may help. However, just be aware that reduced acne is only sometimes a side effect of birth control. There are some acne medications out there but I have tried many of them and often they do not work as well. It is difficult to live with acne and I have found the best thing to do is try various products until you find something that works. Good Luck!!|||I would talk to a doctor, not your esthetician, who probably had a 6 month course in how to apply cosmetics, and a doctor has like at least 6 years of schooling. No brainer.|||Try the birth control. My acne cleared up when my hormones evened out in my 20%26#039;s. The birth control should regulate yours.|||Birth control.

Dermatologist questions regarding tanning?
My friend that I work with wanted me to post this .. she is very light skinned and wants to get tan she goes to the tanning salon and puts on tanning lotion but theres no tan she goes a lot and still no color we were both at the tanning salon and me i have no problem getting tan because im sicilian now... we were talking to the owner billy and he was telling us that his friend had the same problem and he went to the dermatologist and they gave his friend a cream to use and it boosted up his melanin do you think that if you go to a dermatoligst they will help you with that? What are some ways that you can boost your skin melanin she puts on tingle and thats to boost everything and she gets really red and it doesnt turn tan? whats up with that ... just need some pointers thanks !|||Tanning is bad for you no matter what! Doing it a lot can cause more wrinkles earlier in life, not to mention cancer. I have seen it happen!
If you are insisting on still goin in, just going in for 5 minutes a day on a low setting for 3 days, the next 3 days go on a higher setting. after 2 weeks, go to whatever setting you would like and stay in 10 minutes, your body should be used to the bulbs by then. Keep increasing the time but DO NOT go over 20 minutes in the bed!
Always use some sort of lotion, the baby lotion is better bc it keeps you from burning less. That is why they make it for kids (they cry more, the less the burn the less the cry... you get it)

Dermatologist's reply dearly needed...Eczema/Acne/Facial Rash that started on my leg>back>arm>face.Please
rash on my leg, it was about the size of a blueberry, ring shaped teeny tiny red pus filled bumps/blisters.Accompanied by occasional outbreaks of itching red blisters on my fingers.I went to the doctor and he said that it was mites or ringworm from my animals and gave me some cream for it.... And he also said my fingers (at a later point) was nerves...and gave me ?Atarax? for itching.
The outbreak on my leg then dissappeared,and came up on my arm and back,then went away there and returned on my face, and now it is very noticable, large areas of my lower face(from the bottom of my nose downto my jawline, not on my neck.) The new Doctor told me it was Eczema? They gave me a cream called Fluticasone Proprionate ?usp .1%. The cream does not halp anymore it just helps it from being so dry. I need to know what this?Any ideas? soap drys it and hurts. Getting worse.Acne?Eczema?Should I apply My medicine or the hydrocortisone says for rashes such as eczema,put that? I dunno what to do.Help!|||this is what i did for my rashes i got a sun lamp used soap shampoo detergent with no perfumes. even rinse your clothes twice. also i ate Vitamin c for about a month and it went away it also sounds like a food allergy watch what you eat if it pops up then. keep putting cream on it. mine finally went away after i tried it. i still get a rash on two fingers when i am prone to stress and i keep my hands out of dish soap|||I knew a friend who have Eczema before.After taking all kind of medication, he was finally healed with water only.Since God create the earth with 70% covered with water,our body is also created with 70 % water.So, if your body contain 70% of good water you are 70% heathy.Your body can heal itself.

Dermatologist or store brand?
SO as I get older, my skin gets worse. I am a young teen, and my forehead is where i get most of my acne.
I have been working on keeping my bangs out of my face.
I%26#039;ve tried acne free, apricot scrub, biore self heating masks, clean and clear.
and yeah they work for some time, like a few weeks.
but then these huge painful cystic acne lumps come back.
can i see my family doctor as a dermatologist? will that work?
i think that is all i can do right now.
will i be guaranteed it to work??
the kind of scars i get are weird too.
they are not like dents.
they still have a slight bump under the skin and are red dots.
makeup does not cover them either.
should i just keep trying this stuff for a couple more weeks, and then go to the dermo??
please give me suggestions.
not of store bought products tho.|||If your case is as serious as you are saying, go to a dermatologist. I would recommend a real specialized dermatologist. I used to have the same problem and my mom took me to one.

He might also want you to come back every amount of time to check on you which i find good because that way you know that your acne is being treated correctly. In fact he might actually tell you tips on how to avoid getting scars, which lotions and scrubs do work and which doesn%26#039;t etc...

Dermatologist prescribed me Benzaclin??
I%26#039;m 16 and I went to a dermatologist today and he gave me some prescriptions. One of which includes benzaclin. He said to use it twice daily every day and that it bleaches towels. Will it bleach my pillow or hair?! Also I was given a benzoyl peroxide cleanser to use 1 to 2 times a day. I%26#039;ve heard that benzaclin will dry your skin if you put too much so how mcuh do you suggest I use? How long should it take me to see results? I have moderate acne and mainly just have old acne scars. I have a moisturizer from olay to use after applying the gel but how long should I wait to apply it? The mouisturizer says %26quot;all day moisture lotion SPF 15 protection%26quot; is that good? It%26#039;s for sensitive skin. Should I only aplly benzaclin on the areas that I have acne or should I just apply it to my entire face? Thank you for your help!!!|||I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in skin care and teen acne.
After 12 years in this profession I find that most of my patients who deal with acne or brekout problems DO NOT SEE RESULTS from commercial products sold at drung stores or the mall. They usually contain too much benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulfur which tends to OVER DRY the skin and cause itching or irritations.
Also, home remedies such as lemon juice or alcohol or toothpaste SHOULD NEVER BE USED because they cause small tears in the skin and leave the skin more susceptible to bacteria that causes pimples or acne.
Your question is very broad and you need to get professional advice. I will explain why it%26#039;s a broad question!
Your age plays a role! Do you always have breakouts?
However, acne can result from several factors such an increase in hormone levels. In males testosterone or androgens. In females, androgens respectively. The increase in androgen levels can stimulate the oil glands to become enlarged and thus more oil production is produced. An increased oil production can clog the pores with oil or sebum ( white thick substance) which cause the cell walls of the pores in the skin to breakdown. This process allows bacteria to form and thus breakouts develop.
Genetics may also be a cause. It is a myth that greasy food or chocolate causes breakouts.
However, using make-up sponges that are not changed or washed often can contaminate the pores with bacteria which may develop into acneic breakouts.
Teenagers going through hormonal and growth changes are prone to acne.
If you have severe breakouts than you might need medication. There are many factors.
The most important thing is that you need products that are AGE APPROPRIATE! Every age group has different products appropriate for them. If you are young than you need milder products as to not dry out your beautiful young skin.
The problem with commercial skin products is that they are manufactured for MASSES OF PEOPLE and are not specifically made for different peoples%26#039; needs.
Your skin type is different than mine and your age differs from mine so how is it logical that we both use the same skin product for breakouts. We need different strengths of cleansers and toners. Do you kind of understand what I am getting at?
Here is my STRONG SUGGESTION for you. I refer all my students and patients to this website:
www.aboutyourskincare.com
You need to consult with professionals and on this website YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS FOR FREE AND A SKIN EXPERT/PHYSICIAN WILL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. It would be a shame if you dont take advantage of this free service.
Lastly, they have incredible products for breakouts and they make them specifically for every kind of skin type. That means that if your breakouts are more severe than mine, than while we both will buy the same product yours will have stronger ingredients than mine will.
They have a mild glycolic acid cleanser that%26#039;s great for your type of skin and also a DRYING LOTION ( I have 3 bottles) that you put directly on your breakouts and the next day it%26#039;s gone. It%26#039;s truely magic in a bottle.
A basic guideline for properly taking care of your skin is this ( now if you%26#039;re a young girl you will need fewer products than this):
Night time:
1. Exfoliate the skin
2. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
3. Mild Glycolic Acid Toner ( cleans off the excess debris and balances the PH level of the skin).
4. Drying Lotion used only on breakouts
5. Moisturizer
Morning:
1. Mild Glycolic Acid Cleanser
2. Moisturizing cream
The above is a standard you may need to only use one or two products. Visit: www.aboutyourskincare.com

Dermatologist PLZ HELP?
I have been trying to make a dermatologist appointment for my acne for 2 years. Now my mom and dad finally did make me one about a month ago. But now they are having problems with money, and my appointment is coming up on the 18th of this month.
Its a $100 just for the consultation. But my grandma said she would pay for it. But here is the thing, I dont want here to have to pay for it if the dermatologist isnt going to give me anything. If she is just going to look at it and tell me a little about it, and then I will have to make another appointment later, there isnt any use because I wont be able to go back for a while because thats another $100 for another appointment.
So if anyone has ever been to a dermatologist, please let me know if they will give me something the first time I go. Thanks to anyone who helps.|||I%26#039;ve been to the dermatologist WAY more times than I could ever imagine. lol (i%26#039;ve seen at least 4 derms)
And honestly, they all sucked. All they did was tell me, %26quot;yes...so you have acne. severe acne. We can offer you treatments, but we%26#039;re not really sure how well it will work with you. but.. here you go!%26quot;
Some gave me chemical burns. Some made my skin itchy and dry. Some gave me headaches. Some made me vomit. etc... but not ONE has helped cure my acne.
I did find a few things that did help with my acne on my own.
;)
So,... I say, if it%26#039;s a reputable place, and your acne is not SERIOUS (like mine was), then I%26#039;m sure they have something to offer you.
I%26#039;m assuming you have moderate acne because people with mild acne don%26#039;t really care about trying to get a derm to check out their acne and offer treatments. They usually just use over the counter products like clean and clear, and proactive. which all SUCKED for me. If you have moderate acne, ask them about RETIN A MICRO, and TETRACYCLINE.

Hope I could help!|||since ur under 18, its not worth it
acne is a typical teenage thing, its better to get it out of your system
why don%26#039;t you put $10 dollars in a jar every month and just save enough to pay for it YOURSELF if it really bothers YOU|||chances are the doctor will prescribe you with some sort of pill and possibly a topical cream. Most likely you will get differein gel or retin A and then something like Minocylin. The doctor technically will give those to you %26quot;free%26quot; at your first consult and tell you to come back in a set period of time. like 3 - 6 months for another $100 appointment. it is usually based on the amount of medicine they prescribe.
you will have to pay somebody for the perscriptions. And depending on where you go, what your health insurance costs, it could be $50 could be $200. My insurance has a deductible and it was $250. So I had to pay full amount until I hit $250. But I am single and live on my own.
So really what you would end up paying is the $100 for the doctor visit and whatever the medication would cost.
I was on a variety of pills and topical creams for the better part of my 20s and have since done accutane.|||the first time i went to a dermatologist, i didn%26#039;t think it would really work that well.
but she gave me some products, and i immediately saw my acne start disappearing.
after the next couple appointments, she pretty much just checked up on my skin and told me to use the same stuff as before.
the problem about only having one appointment is that they give you coupons for medicine, and you could run out of medicine and have to pay full-price for it.
(which is a lot of money. one of my medicines is worth literally $500, but we only have to pay $10 because of the coupons.)
and sometimes, they%26#039;ll want you to change something about the way you%26#039;re doing your medicine.
going to a dermatologist is definitely the right way to go.
i LOVE mine, i don%26#039;t know what i would do without her!

The doctor technically will give those to you %26quot;free%26quot; at your first consult and tell you to come back in a set period of time. like 3 - 6 months for another $100 appointment. it is usually based on the amount of medicine they prescribe.
you will have to pay somebody for the perscriptions. And depending on where you go, what your health insurance costs, it could be $50 could be $200. My insurance has a deductible and it was $250. So I had to pay full amount until I hit $250. But I am single and live on my own.
So really what you would end up paying is the $100 for the doctor visit and whatever the medication would cost.
I was on a variety of pills and topical creams for the better part of my 20s and have since done accutane.|||the first time i went to a dermatologist, i didn%26#039;t think it would really work that well.
but she gave me some products, and i immediately saw my acne start disappearing.
after the next couple appointments, she pretty much just checked up on my skin and told me to use the same stuff as before.
the problem about only having one appointment is that they give you coupons for medicine, and you could run out of medicine and have to pay full-price for it.
(which is a lot of money. one of my medicines is worth literally $500, but we only have to pay $10 because of the coupons.)
and sometimes, they%26#039;ll want you to change something about the way you%26#039;re doing your medicine.
going to a dermatologist is definitely the right way to go.
i LOVE mine, i don%26#039;t know what i would do without her!
Dermatologist question. Can you help?
Dermatologists perform a common (in-office) procedure in which they freeze-off rough scaly patches from your skin. These patches usually occur in fair skinned people who have been exposed to the sun too much. What is this procedure called???
Also, I had this done and it left an area on my face (about the size of a dime) without pigment. I was never informed that this %26quot;might%26quot; happen. The doctor said there is nothing that can be done to correct this. SHOULD I JUST ACCEPT THIS ANSWER AND GO ON MY WAY? I feel betrayed and violated.|||It is a complication of the procedure, but your description of patches is to vague. Is it a keloid? Cause cryotherapy is done to remove them. An if thats all you got from it, you should be happy. I have seen cases where people got a massive reoccurance.
Anyway thats why they invented makeup.
Anyway, patches can be keloid, fungal infection, psoriasis, so many things.

I have an appointment with a dermatologist next month regarding moles, does anyone know what this will intail, also how long it will take etc. Will i have to strip off and if so do they check everywhere ie bum etc. If i need to strip off i feel i would prefer a women doctor to a male one, do you think it would be ok asking for this or does it sound a bit wierd, help me please ha. ps im from the uk|||I don%26#039;t know about you but I would much prefer a female aswell, and i don%26#039;t think it sounds weird, tell them your uncomfertable with men, make a lie, eg. tell them your a Homosexual, and it would be embarrassing for a man to inspect you
Dermatologist, aesthetician?
i am a 13 year old girl and i have really bad face skin, extremely red, bags, zits and bumps on my forehead/cheeks. also i have really red bumps (look like perm. goosebumps) on my arms and i have %26quot;back%26quot;-ne, or acne on my back. should i go to a dermatologist, aesthetician, or both? i know for sure i%26#039;m going to a dermatologist cuz my mom, sis, and bro alredy go to one so i will too. i just need to no if i shud ask to see an aesthetician.|||Maybe, first go to a spellchecker, but just see what the dermatologist says. Ask him whether you should go and whether he thinks it will be better for your skin/make much difference etc. |||I say just stick with a Dermatologist.

Dermatologist = Useless?
I went to the dermatologist today because I am 16 and suffer from severe hair loss. The dermatologist first told me my blood test came out good and then that I am suffering from pre-mature male pattern baldness. She then called her boss, the main dermatologist in the clinic and she was puzzled, saying that it was diffuse alopecia because my hair line is thick.
They then came to the conclusion that I should take regaine which is rogaine for 4 months and in that time if nothing happens, they will start giving me steroid injections.
Do they even know what they are talking about? I mean they are doctors but they just seemed to have no idea with what is going on with my hair, seems guess work to them.|||I have never heard of steroid injections helping hair loss but I am not a doctor.

Dermatologist examination for moles will i have to get naked?
i need an examination with the dermatologist who will be looking at moles as i have been reffered and have loads of them. Could anybody please tell me what this will involve ie will i have to get naked, do they take photos. Problem is i cant help but think i will get an erection and dont want some doctor seeing especially as on is on the inside of my leg right at the top. im worrying sick so if anyone has had moles checked out before please tell me what happens. i live in the uk but i guess that its the same procedure throughout the world. thanks for all your help.

BUT
You should realize that the doctor is not going to care if your penis becomes erect.

They have seen it millions of times before, I PROMISE.|||For last 5 years a women dermatologist does my body exam every 6 months. I remove everything except underwear and wear johnny gown. Doctor starts with my face, then head, chest (lowering gown) and arms, then front of legs. Then I lay down and she checks back, and back of legs and feet bottom. She checks around waist band of underwear. She asks if there are any other moles she needs to look at. Show her the one you are concerned with. With the gown, cold exam room, dr, nurse, etc. I never have had an issue with an erection.
Male dermatologist years ago never checked in my hair on head and I have been dealing with melanoma since. Rather have a little embarrassment than a poor exam.

Why do dermatologists recommend cetaphil for acne?
why do dermatologists recommend cetaphil for acne when it doesnt have anything to help acne in it?....does it really help acne skin?|||Hey I%26#039;m 15 and my dermatologist recommended this because it is a face cleanser that, unlike acne cleansers, keeps your face not too oily and not too dry, and it doesn%26#039;t cause irritation. She recommended it to me also because it is a face wash before I put the acne cream on- so you shouldn%26#039;t ONLY be using cetaphil. Also, from my experience, I just recently was put on it, and it%26#039;s doing just what it is supposed to- although I know for the changes to be seen it%26#039;ll take months, it has definitely done it%26#039;s job. So yes, I think it helps, but this alone isn%26#039;t going to clear your acne- unless maybe yours is very mild it might, I%26#039;m not an expert though.|||I wish you well in whatever choice that you make. My son had acne and I do know the distress that it can bring. Not to be taken lightly.
I also agree that you should see a dermatologist. I suggest that as welll as clearpores, you do have a look at the exposed acne product.
Also ensure that you check your diet to ensure that you are eating plenty of vegetables and fruit and also a simple tip to implement is to drink plenty of water each day.
Good luck with your decision|||It%26#039;s a gentle cleanser, and many people with acne have very sensitive skin. Cleansers with acne fighting ingredients can be too harsh.

I dont think it really works though. If you are looking for something try a perscribed gel for acne from your dermotologist or if you can get facials from the spa it helps alot but you have to keep up with them.

Acne & Dermatologist... ??
i%26#039;ve had acne since i was 15 (now im 17) and 2 months ago i decided to go to a dermatologist, by the way i dont have health insurance, so i paid $60 in cash... well he said that everything about chocolate and greasy food are all myths and it doesnt cause acne... well he prescribed me tetracycline 500mg for 4 months 1 capsule a day. and a cream called adult acnomel... its been 2 months since i started taking them and i havent had any results yet.... and my next appointment is in october....
Last week me and my gf went to a spa and i asked how much it was to make an appointment if i dont have insurance, and the lady said it was a free consultation.. so i schedule an appointment for september since it was free..... Now my question........ What should i tell the dr over there?? that im currently taking that medicine or what?? since is a free consultation could he prescribe me something?
the spa is called onia, and they do microdermabrasion,laserhair removal and more.
thnx.|||tetracycline wont do anything for you.
GET ACCUTANE! It%26#039;s the only thing that helped me!|||Yes, do tell them what meds you%26#039;re on and what topical creams or solutions you use.

Their response will help you make an informed decision on what types of treatments will work best for you.|||The Spa isn%26#039;t going to prescribe anything. The Spa is going to provide facial services.
Yes you should let them know what you are taking but you should know that just like the prescription. You will have to keep going to the Spa for results.
Microdermabrasion session first of all costs around $100.00 and you will have to go and you may not see results until after 6 or 7 visits.
I suggest you continue with your prescription, follow up with the doctor and go to the Spa. Pamper yourself, that will help relieve stress on your skin.|||yeah, don%26#039;t be afraid or hesitant of telling your doctor or any doctor what you%26#039;re taking. they should be aware of it, so as to properly prescribe you medication. i%26#039;m not quite sure if the doctor at the spa will prescribe you medication, since it doesn%26#039;t sound like they do, and strictly perform those procedures. they may or they may not, but they might do consultations on those procedures only.
PS... have you really not tried proactiv? a mixture of proactiv and a regular workout schedule will be healthier for your skin. also, taking vitamin e is crucial if you want clearer skin. i had mild acne, and my acne ceases to exist.
