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.

He should see a dermatologist or an aesthetician and discuss his concerns and they will help him with products and services to cure his acne.|||Milk happens to be not good for anyone. see www.notmilk.com

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.
OK
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!
