is she gonna just look @ it or like give me a shot im nervous its my first timeWhat does the dermatologist do when you have an appointment about acne?
My sister had a bad case of acne before. She consulted a dermatologist. You will be asked questions about the following: the food you eat, if you exercise, wear make up, your lifestyle. Then Retin-A will be prescribed. You will be told to stay away from the sun while under medication. If the acne is in the volcanic stage...the dermatologist might pop it. Painless of course.What does the dermatologist do when you have an appointment about acne?
Been there, first the doctor checks your medical history, if you have allergies or anything similar. Then s/he checks for skin to see how greasy it is, depending on the severity of this is your acne level, if you have dry skin, chances are your acne is not that bad. A greasy skin complex worsens the severity of your acne level.
If you only have a few pimples, you should not worry. If you upper body is covered in pimples, well, expect treatment with accutane.
BY ALL MEANS PLEASE listen to your doctor and ALWAYS follow instructions, acne is a morally crippling problem, and it gets worse if you do not obey the doctor's orders.

If it is acne ( pimples ) that you are trying to get rid of then I would strongly suggest Prov-Active. This works on both girls and boys. I have seen some cases and they come out looking like they never had any problems. Not everyone will be cured but it is cheaper that seeing a doctor who would tell you the same thing. Of course if your case is really back. Then please seek the doctors help. I would want everyone to have the chance to look their best.
No shots the first time. Just look and go over your hygeine and diet and etc. Will either advise you to try different things or will prescribe you meds. Most everytime they prescribe you an acne medication. They will try different ones until its right.
you will find out when u go there
gives u medicine to clear it up

Should I see a doctor/dermatologist for acne? Which one first?
Okay, after trying different medications and seeing no improvements, I have decided to seek professional help/advice. I am quite embarassed/afraid to confront them seeing the condition I am in. It's very embarassing! I thought it will get better in time that is why I have not gone to see them sooner! But I think I should not wait any longer if I DEFINITELY do not want to live like this. Do you think they help a lot mentally/physically with the problem or do you think they are only in it for the $$$ like some ppl have said? If you have experience going to one...please share and suggest what I should do. Also, I have 2 nasty ones right between my eyes so should I ask for a shot to get rid of it? Thank you.Should I see a doctor/dermatologist for acne? Which one first?

to get a good face cleaning solution buy some witch hazel it works wonders and should clear up in a few days
birth control helps ur face alot the pill it clears ur skin really well mmaybe u should try that
see a dermatologist before you see the doctor, cause they will probably send you to one... there is some good medicine that they can give you to help get rid of it.. you might try cutting down on chips or greasy foods for now..no fried foods at all...seems like the over the counter stuff seems to make things worse.. i have noticed that myself// but i did get some good stuff from the dermatologist and it clears it right up...but the doctor sent me to the dermatologist...so you may want to check that out..see if you can make one without seeing the doctor first..
You need to go to a dermatologist! I used to have really bad acne too and when i went to my dermatologist she gave me a prescription and that worked wonders! And now i dont have acne at all. and i havent used that prescription for 3 years. i'm sorry but i dont remember what the prescription was called.
Dermatologist.
i think you should go see a dermatologist for acne. that's what i did, and now it's looking a lot better. i used to have horrible ones where i can barely wash my face because my acnes were so painful when i touch em. seeing a dermatologist cost $ though, but i think it's worth it. but if you get a good dermatologist, they might give you lots of sample medicines before prescribing the real thing. proactiv and other tv problems makes it worse in the long-runs. good luck, and i hope this help! (=

If i wanted to remove a facial scar not due to acne, do I see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon?
see question.If i wanted to remove a facial scar not due to acne, do I see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon?
I would first see a dermatologist. If it is out of his/her scope, you may be referred to a plastic surgeon.If i wanted to remove a facial scar not due to acne, do I see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon?
Depends on the size of the scar, but I'd start with the derm first. If it's too big/deep for him/her to fix it, then you could see a plastic surgeon. While you're at the dermatologist you can get a check up to see if you have any pre-cancerous spots: if you do, then most of your appointment will be covered by insurance.
Good luck!
I believe a plastic surgeon would be the best as they specialize in that sort of thing. I think the best a dermatologist can do is recommend some type of remedy to lessen the appearance of it, if it all possible.

Did going to the dermatologist help you with your acne problem?

I used to be a Medical Records Clerk in a dermatologist office a few years ago.
I a lot of teenagers go to the dermatologist for pimples. I mean SO many they joke about it.
Since you say you don't have a HUGE problem with acne, and your biggest problem is black heads the dermatologist will more than likely look at your face, and tell you to wash it in Neutrogena face wash and give you a sample of Retin A Micro. I tried this and it DRIED my skin out. I mean I was peeling large areas of dry skin off.
I can say that is what they WILL do, but mostly likely.
Now my biggest problem was black heads and an occasional pimple that might go to 2 or 3. And one night while I was traveling I needed SOMETHING to clear my pimples up. They were so sore. And I always needed help with my black heads.
I bought this stuff called Zap Zyt. Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but I really does work for me.
You can get it at Walmart. But I have added a link down there for you to see what it looks like.
Here is what the product is about:
';ZAPZYT Acne Treatment Gel
ZAPZYT Acne Treatment Gel is the strongest Benzoyl Peroxide Gel available! The 10% benzoyl peroxide, water based gel is the same maximum strength formula recommended by dermatologists. ZAPZYT Acne Gel zooms deep into pores where oil and bacteria live, killing bacteria and zapping zits, delivering the fastest results possible!';
And if it works for you, yes 2 weeks is more than enough time to clear up mostly all of your black heads, and most pimples! Give it a try, I'm glad I did, and I have kept buying it to keep black heads and pimples away.

Does getting dry ice done from a dermatologist make your acne go away?
i have never heard of this treatment, but if your dermatologist suggested it, it must work on some people.Does getting dry ice done from a dermatologist make your acne go away?
Dry Ice treatments do work. I got them as a teenager, and yes, my dermatologist did rub the dry ice directly on my skin. Report Abuse
Does getting dry ice done from a dermatologist make your acne go away?
yes, it does work pretty well. I had that treatment when I was a teenager...I think I went in once a week. I noticed when I had to miss an appt for sure. And for those that think you are crazy, it's a real treatment. It's dry ice crushed, I think they mix in some chemicals, and then they put it on the end of a tongue depressor and wrap it in gauze so it doesn't touch your skin directly so much. I always liked it, it was a tingly sensation; it didn't hurt.
';Getting dry ice'; .....uhm, I seriously doubt this, seeing as dry ice is very cold, you wouldn't want to touch your skin with it. Also, dry ice is just solid carbon dioxide, which is not necessarily something that can clear out pores.
Have you tried getting your face analyzed from an anesthesiologist? There is a machine that blue UV's your face for deep challenges like acne. Clear.now is a great product for that treatment.
