im going to see a dermatologist on tuesday because ive had acne since i was like 12, and im now 18. Ive tried loads of products etc so anyway, was just wondering what i need to take or anything to prepare for it.
What will they do at the appointment?Seeing a dermatologist.. what do they do?
In the case of acne the dermatologist will establish the diagnosis and severity just by looking at your skin.
The options for managing acne are limited, if the condition is moderate and you have not recently had a 3 month period on this consultant's favourite antibiotic, (whichever this is), he will offer this option first. If all antibiotics have failed to give control he may move straight to offering you Roaccutane. This is very effective, but does have side effects. In this case he will want to take blood for a full work up, before prescribing this drug for you, it cannot be supplied by GPs.Seeing a dermatologist.. what do they do?
They'll hack chunks of flesh from your face to do tests on them.
Preparation? I'd say half a tub of aspirin to numb the pain.
