I have never heard of them drilling into your skin - scars.......... - anyway, they gave me an antibiotic and worked like a dreamI am gonna see a dermatologist FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN?
No worries, the dermatologist will likely just look (visually) at the problem areas and take a small skin scape (painless). Once the doctor has had time to review your case, he or she will make the final judgment as to what type of medication will work best for you. Although I do not have any personal experience with acne, I have read extensive reviews on various pharmacological interventions or treatments. It may take trying a few different medications - but you will eventually find one that works. Since there is great variation between medications - it is impossible to say what medication will: a. be benifical to you, or b. cause side effects - such as dry skin.
No, they most definitely will not drill into your skin. They probably won't do anything at the office to try to make the pimples go away.





There are a few options for prescriptions, and it will depend on the type of your skin, and your lifestyle.





Often, an antibiotic will be prescribed. Usually, this will make the pimples worse before they get better, as the infection will need to come out of the skin in order to really go away. This is usually quite effective.





Another common medication is Retin-A. What this does is accelerate the development of new skin, and the top layer will slough off. It is often not recommended for people are out of doors often, because too much exposure to the sun can be problematic.
it actually depends. i have been to 3 different dermatologists. some prescription worked fine, some did not. if it did not work, you have to go back to you dermatologist, or you have to be sure to go back on the check-up date that the derma told you. procedures on acne, would vary from case to case. there are a lot of options available right now. make sure u go to a reputable dermatologist.
Hahaha... drill into the skin? Ummm... no. They might do a scraping to make sure there's not infection... and if your acne is very severe they'll probably put you on acutane. I have 2 friends who took it in high school. It will clear up your acne, but you'll have to use sunscreen and chapstick religiously while you're on it.
