I've never gone in for acne, but usually they will take a look at your skin and try to figure out the root cause of the problem. In your case, there is more then one type of acne (not just white and black heads) so they will try to figure out what the best approach for you will be. It could be a prescription grade cream, antibiotics etc etc. She should give you either a trial tube of product to try and see if you like it before giving you a prescription, or she might just give you a prescription. (usually with acne stuff, they'll give you a sample first since its pretty harsh on your skin and not everyone likes the side effects. My brother went on some prescription cream and it burned him so he decided it wasn't worth the meager results he was seeing.) Don't be afraid to ask questions though, thats why they're there.First time dermatologist appt?
I've been to 2 different derm's for acne; both asked me questions like ';do you have a history of acne in your family?'; and ';if so, do your family members have scarring from acne?'; and ';do you have skin cancer in your family's history? is today a good day for your skin? do you find you break out more a week or so before you get your period?';


stuff like that!


Antibiotics would be my guess as to what she puts you on as well, but there are also topical creams such as stievamycin that work great, you may even be put on both. Yes, typically dermatologists like to see you come back to see how your skin is reacting to the medicine(s). Depending on what you are put on, results can usually be seen in 2 weeks or so, and full results within 2 months hopefully! good luck!
