How much would it cost if i visit a dermatologist due to acne problems?
I'm 18 and my acne problems is starting to annoy me. If so, this is the first time I will go to a dermatologist, how much would it cost? including the check-up and the doctors prescription?
Also, will it eliminate my problems with acne? How long will it take? thanks!
Best prescription acne treatment?
I've been using benzaclin for years, I know its supposed to be one of the best products but in the past 6-7 months it's been getting less and less effective for me.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist next Friday and I'm wondering if there's any prescription acne meds I should ask him about.
Acne medicine not working?
Im 14. I got prescribed Ziana for acne. My dermatologist said to use it for 2 months and see if it helps. I used it probably everyday(or at leas every other day) for a month. It seemed like it did nothing. I mean, i know it takes 2 months, but shouldn't I see SOMETHING by now? I went to the store and bought Burts Bees Acne spot treatment to try cause i've heard it works. I'm just afraid to keep using it cause i go back to the dermatologist in a month and he's going to ask if i've been using it and if i said it didn't work and i only used it for a month, he'll get mad at me. Should i try out the Ziana for another month, or not?
How can i get rid of the rash on my nose?
Every summer I get a red rash on my nose that looks like acne but it's not, it's just many tiny/medium sized red bumps especially on the tip of my nose. I don't know how to get rid of it and it just breaks out randomly and won't go away. This year, it seems to have started after I was outside in the sun one day and got worse everyday after that. My acne medicine doesn't help it and my Aveeno moisturizer seems to have made it worse over night. I also use a Neutrogena Adult Acne Treatment set every other night to help my breaking out and get rid of my old acne scars and was wondering if that could possibly help or make it worse. Any ideas how I could clear this up because it seems like it may be spreading to my cheeks a little as well. I'm pretty sure it's not rosacea but I'm not sure. I've been to a dermatologist (for my acne) and she never identified me as having any signs of rosacea. Any ideas are much appreciated!
If Diary clogged pores, can steam + accutane speed the healing process?
I just found this wedsite that goes into great detail on why dairy causes acne (http://www.acnemilk.com/the_no_milk_acne_diet)
one of the things they mention is how long it take to get under control because of the dairy buildup and how in the beginning you should nix dairy completly at first.
I tried the no diary diet for a month not realizing that it would take a few more than that, but this past few weeks I was having yogurt and organic milk (I usually drink soy milk, but I didnt think my sister would finish it by the time we head back home from school). Anyways, I've dealt with acne for a long time now and Im sick of it. I want to go on accutane BUT until then Im going back on teh no diary diet.
What I want to know is, if diary does some serious clogging like the article says do you think if I steam my face I can speed things up?
which in turn makes me wonder if that will make the accutane treatment shorter?
I'm a very healthy eater, I drink water and natural fruit juices (Fructose corn syrup isn't really my thing lol) tea.. . I wash my face regularly etc.
There has to be better exaplaination than "well... some people just have it" for my doctor to tell me that. pssh! My dermatologist was able to suppress it (key word suppress not cure) but its been over 5 years... I want out of the acne club, my friends. Think I can sue my dermatologist for not doing his job if he doesn't give me the accutane? XD

Acne question, please help?
I have every kind of acne, whiteheads blackheads pimples, the works. I have tried proactive, biore, a meleluca brand, clean and clear worked best for me, but it didn't completely clear me up. What facewash, product worked best for your acne? P.S. I am going to see a doctor today about my acne to see what she can do, but we don't have a dermatologist where I live.
