Dermatologist or general physician?

I need to get an abscess looked at, possibly drained (that is if it doesn't rupture first), and treated further then antibiotics (this is the 2nd time getting one in the same area in a 1 yr. time span...think anti-biotics aren't going to be the only thing I need...obveously they didn't work that last time). Should I call a dermatologist or general physician?Dermatologist or general physician?
General physician - they actually have more experience with this than dermatologists, and they also due minor procedures like draining abcesses. Make sure they culture it for MRSA since the abscess came back.Dermatologist or general physician?
just your family doctor should be able to take care of it





if they feel they cannot treat it properly *which they should be able to* then they will refer you to a dermatologist
any physician can do it, you can also do it at any ER center near by you..





be well!
You'll want to see a surgeon if the abscess needs draining.

Dermatologist reccommended Zeno?

How much is it, where can I find it, and is it worth it?


Any additional info you have would be helpful also.Dermatologist reccommended Zeno?
$150.


walgreens.


i'm trying to figure out if it's worth it too. rofl.


it's supposed to make a pimple go away somewhere between 2-24 hours i think.


go to www.myzeno.com and then read more about it there.Dermatologist reccommended Zeno?
It costs $150 for the product and for 60 refill cartridges (60 additional treatments) is $50


You can buy it at any drug store including CVS


I'm not sure if its worth it- never tried it
It is over $100 dollars. The ad's I've seen claim to clear a pimple in 3 days, but if you have a pimple that you just leave alone and don't pick at it will be gone in three days. Honestly, I've never heard of a more stupid product in my life.

I want to be a dermatologist, what steps should i take?

Im a senior in high school, i just started. I want to be a dermatologist...is there things i should be looking at? Im thinking of going to beauty school, you know for skin care, is that a good idea? i know its not medical but it would give me some knowledge, right? please help=)I want to be a dermatologist, what steps should i take?
a dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in treating disorders of the skin. Hence, you'd need to attend an undergraduate school, obtaining training in the proper courses of chemistry, biology, math, as well as the rest of the well-rounded liberal arts categories. Then you'd have to attend four years of medical school, an internship and preferably a residency in medicine (or surgery) and then, if you're lucky, be accepted into a dermatology three year residency program. I say ';lucky'; because the dermatology residency admission is the most difficult of all residencies to get iin to in the country. So, not only would you have to go thru all of the above schooling, but you'd have to be the top student in your class in order to be considered for the residency program. Many programs, in fact, will only accept applications from those people who have obtained both the M.D. and PhD degrees. So, if you're willing and able to put in the effort, then best of luck to you.I want to be a dermatologist, what steps should i take?

I take Microdox (Doxycycline) DT tables for acne, suggested by the Dermatologist in Sri Lanka.?

I take Microdox (Doxycycline) DT tables for acne, suggested by the Doctor. Doctor prescribed me to take this tablet for 6 months. When I stopped to take this tablet, acne is forming. So I'm continuously taking this tablet for 2 years. I want to know whether it is harmful to my health. But it is very effective to acne.


I'm anticipating reply.I take Microdox (Doxycycline) DT tables for acne, suggested by the Dermatologist in Sri Lanka.?
Oral antibiotics given for acne treatment are effective, but there are side effects to constantly being on antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotic can lead to antibiotic resistance. This makes ';super bugs'; that are difficult to treat.





Have you ever tried accutane? It has many side effects when you are on it, but 6 months of treatment usually is all you need.I take Microdox (Doxycycline) DT tables for acne, suggested by the Dermatologist in Sri Lanka.?

If I think I have toenail fungus, do I see a dermatologist, or a podiatrist?

There is a column in our local newspaper by a Dr. Gott. He reccomends Vicks Vapor Rub for treating nail fungus.Put it on your toes and wear your socks. It works!!If I think I have toenail fungus, do I see a dermatologist, or a podiatrist?
A podiatrist. Your Dr. might also tell you to rub Vick's vaporub on it before bed for a few months. It kills the fungus.If I think I have toenail fungus, do I see a dermatologist, or a podiatrist?
I would say it is better to see a podiatrist since thy specialize in your feet and really have see more ailments in peoples feet then a dermatologist does. A dermatologist just specializes in skin conditions. But a podiatrist sees all sorts of foot ailments that a dermatologist may not have seen before.
spray it with lysol.
Podiatrist would be ideal if you can. A regular family doctor can help you too. My doc said 1/4 c of bleach in 1 gallon of water, soak for 3 days a week for 10 minutes for 1 year...OR take a pill for a year that could give me liver failure or something like that.
Your primary care doctor can give you an antibiotic..if he can't help he'll probably send you a foot doctor.
podiatrist





My mom had that on her big toe the doctor took off the nail and then she applied meds to it and it was gone.
podiatrist. they deal with anything about the foot. dermatologist could probably help but if something is wrong with your toenail, he would just refer you to a podiatrist
SERIOUSLY....pee on your foot in the shower. but dont forget to wash after. Do that a couple times a week and itll be gone b4 you know it. serious, the acidity kills the fungus omungus

What would you need a degree in to be a dermatologist?

Go to med school (major in pre med first). Then specialize in dermatology. There are some paraprofessional careers that are related (much less education).

Definitely check out the Lindsay House on East Avenue. There are 2 different parts...one is the Q Medical Spa which does injections, facials , hair removal etc. and then there is the surgery center. Very trustworthy and reputable. What you probably want for your nose is Restalyne or some other filler to fill in the ';bump'; I've seen it on tv before too...some opt for it instead of a nose job.

Why did my dermatologist give me this?

I have dark circles under my eyes and I went to a dermatologist and he gave me a little tube of moisturizer (I get enough sleep and I'm only 16 by the way). I'm trying to get rid or reduce the darkness under my eyes. I don't get it why he would give me a moisturizer. How would that help? Should I keep using it or what? Did your dermatologist do this for you? please tellWhy did my dermatologist give me this?
Just use it...the dermatologist knows better than Yahoo Answerers.Why did my dermatologist give me this?
JUST GO AHEAD AND USE IT ... THERES A REASON YOUR DOC GAVE IT TO YOU ..... NOT JUST TO LOOK AT ......... I MEAN IF IT COST MONEY USE IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD AND GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH ....... BECAUSE IT MOISTURIZES DOENT MEAN IT ISNT GOING TO WORK ...... JUST KEEP USING IT AND IT MIGHT WORK
Why didn't you just ask him? Maybe he gave it to you because he's afraid your skin will dry up from the tears you'll shed when he tells you he can't help you with those dark circles.








Is that last question to me? Probably because most times I don't beat around the bush. I say what needs or should be said, and sometimes add a bit of humour hoping people will be able to laugh at themselves and the situation.





He is your doctor and specializes in the area concerning the condition you went to see him for. Therefore, if you have any questions about the treatment he recommended, then he will know why he recommended it and it won't cost you a dime more to ask him. Just give him a ring and ask. And if he gave it to you to use, then obviously he thought it would help. So until you do find out from him how exactly it is supposed to help, then you have no reason not to use it as directed and every reason to use it.





Another thing is we don't know exactly what your skin problem is because we didn't examine you. And while what he gave you might be a moisturizer, it might not be just a moisturizer. It may have other items added to it. These are also answers he knows.





It's wise to consider when asking why someone did a specific thing that the only person who can really answer that question is the person who did that thing.
I think it鈥檚 important to really understand the causes of you dark circles before trying to treat the dark circles. My friend has serious dark circles and her dark circles are improving by following the information provided by http://www.darkcirclesundereyescure.com
you could be suffering from renal failure or cancer
maybe it will get rid of the dark circles if you use it long enough

To become a dermatologist?

I've been researching on how to become a dermatologist. I know that you can't major in dermatology. So if I were to become one, what would my major be for college?





I saw that you go to college, then medical school. After that, you do residency. In between all of this, you do your MCAT and you have to get certified. So technically dermatology is where you specialize.


Well if you could clarify up that part too, I would appreciate that very much.To become a dermatologist?
You can major in whatever you want and go to med school as long as you take the premed classes in bio, chem, physics, math, and English, keep your GPA over 3.5, and do well on the MCATs. Pretty much every 4-year college and university offers premed classes (not a major). Then you've got 4 years of med school followed by 4+ years of residency, then you take the licensing exams (boards) to become certified.To become a dermatologist?

How long does it take to become a dermatologist?

Residency training program in North America:


A minimum of 12 years of college and post graduate training is required to become a dermatologist in the United States and Canada. This includes graduation from a 4-year college, a 4-year medical school followed by a year of post graduate training in medicine, surgery or pediatrics (called an internship) after which a physician may apply for admission to graduate dermatology residency training. Dermatology residencies are among the most competitive in terms of admission criteria. Following the successful completion of formal residency training in dermatology (3 years) the physician is qualified to take certifying board examinations (written and oral) by the American Board of Dermatology or the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology. Once board certified, dermatologists become Diplomates of the American Board of Dermatology or the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology AOCD. They are then eligible to apply for fellowship status in the American Academy of Dermatology. Some dermatologists undertake advanced subspecialty training in programs known as fellowships after completion of their residency training. These fellowships are either one or two years in duration. Fellowships in dermatology include pediatric dermatology, surgical dermatology including MOHS micrographic surgery, dermatopathology (pathology of skin diseases) and dermatological immunology.








Training program in Australia:


An Australian specialist dermatologist will have completed 6 years of medical school, one internship year and at least one year of general medical or surgical service in the public hospital system, prior to becoming eligible for specialist training in dermatology. The selection process is rigorous and transparent; candidates must pass science and pharmacology exams and engage in monitored and assessed practical training in medical and surgical dermatology. At the completion of the 5 year training programme, trainees sit a national written examination held over two days. Successful candidates may then proceed to the practical viva examination (held over 2 days) after which they may apply for fellowship status with the Australasian College of Dermatologists.





Training program in India:


To be a dermatologist in India, a minimum of 3 years of training is required after graduation from medical school and internship. The period involves rigorous training in all aspects of general dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, venereal diseases (including HIV) and leprosy. At the end of the training period the resident has to go through written tests and clinical exams. The degree awarded is MD (dermatology, venereology and leprosy). Most specialists also go for certification by the national board (for the award of 'diplomate of national board').How long does it take to become a dermatologist?

What majors do i need to become a dermatologist?

If you are in the US or Canada, your undergraduate major doesn't matter. Some people do biology based majors just to make getting pre-requisite courses easier, but this isn't necessary.





The path to being a dermatologist is:


- 4 years undergrad at a university


- 4 years medical school


- (US - 1 year internship)


- dermatology residency - 5 years in Canada, 3 years in US (US - 4 years total)





Dermatology is always one of the most competitive specialities. To get in, you'll need not only great marks, but community/school involvement, research, and probably some real extracurricular activities too. Good luck!

Did my dermatologist do this too hastily?

i had a blackhead extraction procedure done,


it successfully got rid of all my blackheads.





but she didn't use steam or anything to help with the pain.


all she did was poke/stab the pores with blackheads with a very sharp needle


then scraped the impurities out





i'm just curious to know,


was this the right procedure?


my nose bled a lot afterwards (the surface, from the scraping)


and it hurt a lotDid my dermatologist do this too hastily?
Wow that does sound painful! I had a facial where they used steam to open my pores which made it easier to get the blackheads out. I wasn't in much pain from it and it worked beautifully. Sounds like you went to a butcher!

Is a dermatologist qualified to diagnosis a patient with Lupus (re: Michael Jackson)?

Michael Jackson's dermatologist Arnie Klein claims he had diagnosed MJ with lupus, justifying some of the meds he had prescribed to him. Would he as a dermatologist be qualified to make such a diagnosis?Is a dermatologist qualified to diagnosis a patient with Lupus (re: Michael Jackson)?
Yes, Lupus has skin manifestations and often patients with lupus present for the first time with these skin changes. the disease is usually managed primarily by a rheumatologist, but generally no one would have more training or experience in managing the skin manafestations than a dermatologist. because lupus can effect every body system there is usually a team approach to the management of this diseaseIs a dermatologist qualified to diagnosis a patient with Lupus (re: Michael Jackson)?
Yes, discoid or skin lupus is diagnosed and treated by a dermatologist. It is diagnosed by skin biopsy.





Systemic lupus is treated by a rheumatologist and other specialists to deal with the organs affected by the lupus. This varies from patient to patient.
i assume so since he deals with the skin....people go to dermatologist to ask about their skin problems

Is it possible for me to become a dermatologist with an ged? if yes, what do I need to do to get started???

Depending you your GPA for highschool you might want to go to a two year Community College. Take the basic classes like maths and englishes there. After transfer to a 4 year college to start your degree. You need a high GPA though so your going to need to work hard. After the 4 yeaer college you can go into Medical school.Is it possible for me to become a dermatologist with an ged? if yes, what do I need to do to get started???

I would definetely go to a dermatologist , he'll probably help alot.Extreme dandruff Everywhere NOT only scalp. Going to dermatologist good idea?
It could be something as easy as seborrheic dermatitis so see a derm is a good idea. Simple meds or cream are not expensive. Getting it treated though is the only way to go to find out for sure what it is and the best way to treat it.
Ummm...yeah.
You won't know until you go...
you should go to the derm its the best thing
Just make sure they do not give a STEROID cream to deal with it because that will thin your skin in the long run. There are non steroid creams that are good. Secondly, i'd highly recommend an allergy test too. A friend who had a similar problem also went to a Chinese herbal doctor and he was given a list of things to not eat- it slowly improved...good luck!
a lot of dermatologists prescribe sarna lotion, aquaphor or eucerin cream for dry skin


they are OTC drugs


drink plenty of water avoid using too much soap it dries your skin


and use a cool mist humidifier indoors to moisten the air to make it less dry


it it does not resolve or reddens or oozes then see a dermatologist

thank youI am thinking of becoming a dermatologist or Laser Aesthetician but I need HELP!!!!!!?
Dermatologists do make a lot of money -- and they do work with LASERs to remove hair.





TO become a dermatologist, you need to do the following:





1. Get into as good a college as possible. Take all the Pre-Med classes. You can major in anything -- but it is always a good idea to do more than the minimum.





2. After graduating from college, go to Medical School for four years to become an MD or a DO.





3. After getting your medical degree spend one year as a Medical Intern and three years as a Resident in Dermatology.





4. After your residency, take an exam to become a Board Certified Dermatologist.





With any luck, you should be a dermatologist by age 30.

Who do you think would be more expensive? A chiropractor or a dermatologist? (without insurance)?

I see a chiropractor every week and pay $35 per session.





I will most likely need to see a dermatologist on Monday, let them know what's wrong w/ me, get a cream, and be on my way to getting rid of this weird skin issue. So, this should cost more than $50 should it?Who do you think would be more expensive? A chiropractor or a dermatologist? (without insurance)?
Without insurance a dermatologist (a specialist MD/DO) you're looking at approx $250 for the office visit in addition to anything they might run, and if they want you back for a reevaluation plus whatever the cost of ointment or pills to take care of the problem, which could be a very wide range. So that's just a rough estimate, but probably close to what you're looking at.Who do you think would be more expensive? A chiropractor or a dermatologist? (without insurance)?

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.

Thank you.Should I see a doctor/dermatologist for acne? Which one first?
Try the followin tips i found for u .do not use chemicals on skin. Follow these instructions and do let me know if they worked on your skin. i'm sure they will!








1. Put toothpaste on your pimple before you go to bed, should help reduce swelling overnight. Make sure it is the paste not the gel. One of the most popular acne home remedies.





2. Wash your face twice a day in warm salty water. This should leave your face oil free without aggravating the acne.





3. Apply a paste of fresh methi (fenugreek) leaves over the face every night for 10-15 minutes and washed with warm water. This will prevent acne, pimples, blackheads, and wrinkles.





4. Place strawberry leaves on the acne, the alkalinity helps to reduce the swelling.





5. Extract juice of one lemon and mix with equal quantity of rose water. Apply this mixture on the face and let it stay for about half an hour. Wash the face with fresh water. About 15 days application helps cure acne, pimples and reduces blemishes and scars.





6. Another method is to massage the face with the skin of lemon before washing with lukewarm water.





7. Apply fresh mint juice over the face every night for the treatment of acne, pimples, insect stings, eczema, scabies, %26amp; other skin infections.





8. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. At least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables should be included in your diet. All acne home remedies should include a healthy diet.





9. A couple of garlic cloves, crushed and dabbed on the face 1-2 times a day. One of the smellier acne home remedies!





10. Home face wash for acne: Mix together 1 or 2mls each of the following: witch hazel, tea-tree and sweet fennel essential oils, adding essential oil of geranium for women and essential oil of rosewood for men. Mix with 300mls of water. Shake before use, as the oils will float on top of the water during storage. Dab affected areas with cotton wool two or three times a day. The oils will clean and unclog giving antibiotic-like protection to the skin.





11. Apply fresh lemon juice on the affected area overnight. Wash off with warm water next morning.





12. Use 2-3 tsp. dried basil leaves to 1 cup boiling water. Steep 10-20 minutes. Cool, and apply with cotton ball.





13. Grind orange peel with some water to a paste and apply on affected parts. One of the best acne home remedies.





14. Clean face with cotton wool dipped in rose water 2-3 times a day.





15. Mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice in 1 teaspoon finely ground cinnamon powder and apply on affected areas frequently.





16. Nettle Tea is another solution, this tea has a herb that has some curing power and really helps work wonders on skin problems. Drink four cups a day to get the full benefit of one of the most powerful acne home remedies. Get nettle products here.





17. Aloe Vera juice applied twice a day can greatly speed up the healing of acne lesions. You can buy Aloe Vera at vitacost.com





18. Another lotion that uses bee propolis extract may also be effective. Mix eight ounces of water and 11 drops of bee propolis extract. One of the acne home remedies which has been proven effective with many people.





19. Some herbal acne home remedies...


Burdock leaf tea.


Lavender essential oil (mix 1:10 with water)


Tincture of calendula flowers.


Tea tree essential oil (mix 1:10 with water)


Liquefy cabbage leaves with witch hazel, strain and add two drops of lemon oil. Use as a lotion.





20. Ice down the acne before bed, by morning it should be noticeably less swollen. Works best on larger pimples that have not yet formed a head.





21. Take vitamin B5 and zinc supplements daily to strengthen the skin's resistance to acne.





22. Mix mint juice with turmeric powder and apply on affected area. Leave for 15-30 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.





23. Mix some vinegar and salt in a bowl. Pour a little bit in your hand and rub it on the pimples. Soak a face towel in it and dab it on the bumps. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and rinse it off.





24. Blend cucumber and make a paste. Apply this as a mask on your face and leave it for 1/2 hour and then rinse. This refreshes your skin and prevents acne.





25. Mix corn flour with egg white and apply on your face. Let is dry completely for 1/2 hour. Dip your hands in warm water and massage your face and wash off. This when repeated regularly gives you a smooth skin.





26. Mix sandalwood paste with rosewater and apply on the face. Rinse off after 30 minutes.





27. Essential oil face mask for acne: Use a mask base powder, such as fuller's earth or kaolin powder. Use distilled or filtered water to make a paste. Mix 1 heaped teaspoon of base powder to 3 drops of essential oil. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the water in, to make a fluid yet balanced paste. Essential oils to add in the mask either separately or try smaller amounts together; cypress oil 1 drop, lemon oil 2 drops, sage oil 1 drop.





28. Mix the paste of tender neem leaves with turmeric and apply of affected area. An eastern approach to acne home remedies.





29. Grind some nutmeg with milk and apply on affected area. Pimples disappear like magic without leaving a mark.





30. Make a mixture of lime juice and rose water. Apply on face and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water.





31. Make a paste by mixing 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. Repeat for two weeks, pimples will disappear forever.

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! (=
acne occur due 2 sum hormonal reasons as well as dirt clogging da ducts of sweat glands..if u r in ur teens,dey r inevitable.every1 gets dem.


now,2 reduce their occurence,try a gel dat has ADAPALENE.i hv tried it n it works wonders.apply it ONLY before goin 2 bed..sun rays wil lead 2 a severe reaction.


don't touch ur acne,if u do,dey wil leave dark marks...2 remove dose marks..try a gel dat has ADAPALENE+CLINDAMYCIN..again,only at nite.


also,stop using soap on ur face...use a mild face wash...n clean it regularly wid milk.

Scabies can be caught sexually but also is spread through contact at day care centers, schools, nursing homes and other facilities. It is contagious and can be spread by holding hands, arm wrestling and other types of contact. If you were prescribed the pesticide cream then you should've been told that everyone in the house should also be applying it as well.

I just graduated from high school and want to become a dermatologist..what courses should i be taking?

You need an undergraduate degree, preferably in Biology or Chemisty. Heavy on the math and sciences.I just graduated from high school and want to become a dermatologist..what courses should i be taking?
you should be majoring in science, BIOLOGY highly recommended of course. so whatever the courses required in those majors, TAKE THEM!I just graduated from high school and want to become a dermatologist..what courses should i be taking?
i would go to your local ntwc and they might have info and classes that u need to take
a dermatologist is an MD, so you will probably want to start with a general undergrad degree in biology (though many med schools will take students with other degrees.)





If you have a college in mind that you would like to attend, check out their website and/or talk to a counselor to see what their recommended course of study is.
A dermatologist is a licensed medical doctor, so you should be enrolled in pre med courses.





If you want to be an aesthetician, look for a good cosmetology school that offers such classes.

Should I break up with my dermatologist girlfriend? She is starting to get under my skin.?

why leave her.. she got the guts to go under your skin dudeShould I break up with my dermatologist girlfriend? She is starting to get under my skin.?
Is she annoying you (well, obviously be your heading). Try to talk to her about what she is doing that bothers you. You will have to talk things out sooner or later. If you get married and have with different woman annoy you, would you think about divorce right away? You will eventually need to talk things out. If there is something that bothers you just tell her politely and calmly. If you doesn't take it well, chances are you shouldn't be with her anyway. The only people who deserve to be around, in this case, you, are people who will understand and just as politely back to you.Should I break up with my dermatologist girlfriend?

Pathology, Rheumatology/Immunology, Plastic Surgery...





Surgeons tend to be on call more than non surgical docs.Plz name the physicians except for dermatologist and dentists who has less on calls ??
Actually, radiologists get called plenty BUT nowadays a lot of what they do can be done from home.Plz name the physicians except for dermatologist and dentists who has less on calls ??
All the assisting professionals related to the family Doc go hand-in-gloves. The doctors keep busy by visiting Polyclinics on hourly basis. This was a suggestion for Counselors, art, physical trainers, ..... at such centers as visiting professionals. The institute or industry could afford with less fees and the professional could earn more and many could benefit at different places. This is like sharing transport.

Where can i find a cheap dermatologist near Avon Ohio?

I think you would definitely have to leave the U.S. to find a CHEAP dermatologist. In the world of doctors, you get what you pay for. I know that's not much help, but this is an impossible question. If you're looking for a GOOD dermatologist, then you might ask around or visit a doctors rating website like http://ratemds.com/ . If you don't have insurance, some doctors can offer discounted rates. Just call and explain and if the receptionist isn't very understanding, just keep trying other doctors. :-) You can also try a public health clinic. Some general doctors there can still prescribe general dermatological treatments.

at LEAST 8 glasses of water a day, plus eating relatively healthy, plus being sanitary and showering of course. maybe not perfect skin, but thats about all it takes to make real improvements.

If you're going to commit to this routine, then you might want to invest in a Britta water filter. That way you can just use your tap water, and the filter will remove any impurities. It's not the cheapest of things to buy, but if you'll be drinking two litres per day then you'll definitely get your money's worth (and of course it will work out cheaper in the long-run, compared with buying mineral water each day)





PB.Dermatologist told me 2 drink bottled water for my skin, but isnt that expensive daily...?
Your dermatologist sounds very ' new age ' to suggest you drink only bottled mineral water. Ask the silly cow to pay for it!





Tap water is just as good if not better. Some trials have been done on bottled water and they found all sorts of nasties that are not in tap water. Besides, you don't know how the shop has stored your bottle water, do you?





A friend of mine runs a shop and his dog cocks his leg on the bottles of water. Do you wash the outside of the bottle before you drink it?
Your dermatologist clearly thinks you have more money than sense! Drinking tap water is perfectly fine.
get a water filter that you attach to your sink . that should do the trick.good luck.

Try Carbolic acid (phenol). Apply carbolic acid by toothpick at the root of the wart.I have a wart on my thumb, I've had a dermatologist burn it several times and it came back, I want to remove?
Have him try freezing it. The burning isn't getting deep enough. You could also try fingernail clippers but if you do, be prepared to bleed.

This is a fairly long answer, but if you can


stick with it you may find some insight.





I once had a veritable plague of warts that


were spreading like wildfire in a few places.


My knee's and my hands most especially.


Warts are caused by a virus, this I do know.





In the mid 1970's I went to a dermatologist


who tried a very experimental treatment on


my wart problem.


He chose the biggest wart (it was on my thumb)


and took a syringe filled with novocaine and


injected it directly into the wart.





It was Novocaine, so after the initial sting of the


needle the entire area went numb and I felt


nothing more.





He injected a small amount, then withdrew the


needle and re-inserted at a different point on the


wart and injected a bit more.


He did this again and again all over the entire


surface of the wart until the syringe was empty.


It made a big ol' bloody (but entirely numb) mess


of the wart. It was bandaged well and allowed to


scab up and heal under the bandage.





He asked me to return in 10 days.


The most amazing thing happened.


Within 10 days ALL of my warts had disappeared!


I think I remember counting a total of 35 or so


between my knee's and my hands. And every


single one was gone without a trace.





He called it a miracle.





It was just an experimental treatment he had read


about in his medical journals at that time.


When I returned wartless, he told me further study


showed it was NOT going to be considered as an


effective treatment for warts because it only worked


on less than 10% of those it was administered to.


He couldn't even say WHY it was that this was


ever considered a treatment for warts. Or why it


was effective for some, but not for most.


I was simply one of the lucky ones.





He told me if this hadn't worked, the only other


way to treat warts at that time would have been


to burn each one off individually.


That would have been expensive and left me with


lots of scarring.


Upon reading your question, I realize that wart


treatment hasn't really advanced much in all


these years!





Perhaps you could be one of those lucky ones like


me. Talk to your dermatologist and see if he will be


willing to give this treatment a try.





If not there is another so-called ';treatment'; that


worked for my son and myself as well.





This next story may sound really silly to you.


And I will understand if you want to ignore it


completely. It is simply the strangest way of


getting rid of warts that I have ever hear of.





I am NOT a superstitious person.


Nor do I give any countenance to spells, magic


and things of that nature.


So this story is a bit strange for me to both admit


to and to recommend.





When my son was about 5 he began to get warts


on his knee's and hands very similar to those that


I had.


We were on a camping trip in Utah about 1979.


One of the old miner's in the area where my dad


was raised was at our campsite making friendly


chat one afternoon.


He saw the warts on my boy's hand and said that


he was a ';wart charmer'; and could rid him of the


nasty little critters.


My son's eyes grew big with wonder at this.





The man asked for ';a shiny new quarter';.


My dad just happened to have such a coin in his


pocket. (these days you would have to find an


old quarter to find one that is mostly silver. and


it would need to be cleaned with silver polish)





He took my boy's hand and gently rubbed the


shiny quarter all over one of his warts while


chanting some sort of gibberish.


We all smiled and winked at one another as this


was kind of cute and really had my boy enchanted.





But the darndest thing.


All my son's warts disappeared and have never


returned in 30 years!


Explain THAT one to me, because I can't.





And over the years I have had a few warts that


came back and tried to re-establish themselves.


Each time, I get a shiny new quarter and rub the


surface of the warts gently. I will continue to do


this to the new wart whenever I think about it


Several times a day for a week or so.


And each time the warts disappear for several


years.





Must have something to do with the silver content


in the metals used to mint quarters.


Although I imagine dollars or any other silver coin


would work.


But for the life of me, I can't explain why.





It's certainly a cheap an easy way to try and rid


yourself of those pesky unsightly warts.


And if it doesn't work you aren't any worse off.





Try the coins first.


If no improvement, ask a dermatologist about the


so-called novocaine treatment.





Both sound like strange ways to try and rid ones


self of warts...but hey, they can't hurt to try.

What do you need to do in order to visit a dermatologist, is this part of the NHS or not?

If your GP feels it is necessary to refer you to a dermatologist for an opinion it can be done either through the NHS of privately if you prefer. Either way the referral MUST come through your GP.What do you need to do in order to visit a dermatologist, is this part of the NHS or not?
it is part of the nhs but you need a doctors referral. Also, depending on your reason for wanting to go to a dermo the gp can either refuse to reffer you or try you with other medications first that they can prescribe. and that can take yearrrs!What do you need to do in order to visit a dermatologist, is this part of the NHS or not?
Dermatology is available on the NHS, but you would need to be referred there by your GP.
You need to have your doctor make a referral, provided the cause comes within the parameters of the NHS. If the reasons are personally cosmetic it is possible that you might have to go to a private source.


You would be advised to first consult your doctor, and take it from there.


Hope this helps

You normally need to be referred by your GP
Go to the doctors and they should refer you, if its necessary. You may need to ask to see one though.
yes it is part of the nhs but you do need a Referral from your doctor
As long as you have medical insurance, you can book an appointment. Are you employed? I use my company's benefits. I just looked up a derm, called them and set up an appointment. No referral was needed.

Not necessarilly a dermatologist. This might be something that can be checked by a simple blood test (like a vitamin/mineral deficiency). Start with your regular family MD and then work up.If your hair doesn't grow, do you see a dermatologist?
I'd see the dermatologist right away.. Could be male pattern baldness. If so, welcome to the club!If your hair doesn't grow, do you see a dermatologist?
No, go to your regular doctor and he can help you from there. Your probally lacking vitamins or other minerals that your body needs and only your regular doctor can determine the problem.
a dermatologist looks at the dermis which is the top layer of the skin, the skin that u and i can c. u need to have a well balanced and healthly dieat and you also need to have regular cuts and conditioning treatments. normally evry 4-6weeks
That's a good idea.

Facial specialist at dermatologist's office - are they paid hourly, commission, bonus?

Does a facialist, who works at a dermatologist's office, get paid hourly or commission.





If they do a less expensive treatment, will their pay check be less?





Will they recommend a more expensive facial because they will get more money in their pay check?


Or do they get a set paycheck regardless of how many facials they do or how expenive the facial is?Facial specialist at dermatologist's office - are they paid hourly, commission, bonus?
If the person works for a major medical center or at a specialty clinic that provides services such as face lifts, dermabrasion, laser treatments, etc. they are probably salaried (get a set amount of pay each month) and do not receive a commission. Sometimes bonuses are shared at the end of the year with the medical group, if the year is profitable. Working in this type environment is excellent because the facialist is free to recommend the best treatment for the patient, regardless of cost. The job requires specialized training and board certification.

Looking for a dermatologist in Manhattan who is not averse to prescribing accutane...?

Can anyone recommend a good skin specialist in Manhattan? I have bad adult acne and I was told accutane would help but I know some doctors don't like prescribing it.


Since I can't take much time off work to 'shop around' I need to go directly to a doctor who doesn't have an issue with accutance in the first place.


Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated..


ThnxLooking for a dermatologist in Manhattan who is not averse to prescribing accutane...?
Do you do know it has been linked to mental illness, such as depression and schizophrenia? This is probably the number one reason for doctors being unwilling to prescribe.


here is a link on that:


http://www.monheit.com/accutane/what.sht鈥?/a>





Why not try something homeopathic or herbal if you haven't yet tried anything more natural. Sulphur is something that has long been used for skin condtions. You can buy this as a homeopathic tablet from a health store. It would also be a good idea to use sulphur/volcanic soap too.

There is no way to determine when (or if) acne will subside. You've just got to try different things and hope it goes away.

Is my dermatologist an idiot?

I read that you are supposed to take accutane for 6 months...but he only let me take it for 5!!!


By the way...i had really bad acne..so that's no excuse.Is my dermatologist an idiot?
no by the way your dematologist was fine giving you only a 5 month treatment. i will tell you why both of my children went on the program and my daughter was on for 6 months and my son was on a 5 month program. I thought this was weird at first but I proceeded to ask him why and he explained to me that you don't neccesarly have to be on a full 6 month it all has to do with the way it is prescribed , My son started off in the same amount as my daughter but after the first month they both had different doses . My sons dose was much stronger. I'm sure he knows exactly what he's doing because anyone knows that there are alot of side affects for this medicine/Both of my children have gorgeous skin now. I hope this helps you out.Is my dermatologist an idiot?
Well, if your acne actually cleared up after 5 that's a good thing. But you'll most likely need ANOTHER treatment if you've only had it once. Trust me, I had really horrible acne when i was younger too. I went through 3 treatments of accutane and that stuff with f*** you up!!!
Perhaps he was thinking (in a rush) that after five months if it hasn't worked why keep you on it. Call him back and say


why was this only given for five months instead of the general 6 months (he may have logical proof from a patient).


You have an established relationship (so give them a buzz) and MD's make human errors -

Do they take xrays or pictures at a dermatologist?

no because a dermatologist by nature only knows about problems on the outside of your body (skin).





pictures of the outside of body yesDo they take xrays or pictures at a dermatologist?
x rays no, but they look under microscope.Do they take xrays or pictures at a dermatologist?
A dermatologist might want to take pictures of whatever part of your skin s/he would work on for future comparison, but I can't see any need for x-rays unless the area they're working on might include a congenital defect and they need to see the underlying bone structure. The only way to find out for sure is to go to one!

?what qualifications would you need to become a dermatologist?

First thing first... enter med school for 4 years. Do very well on the USMLE Step 1 (board exam) because dermatology is a competitive residency program to enter -- think of it like a 2nd med school to enter. Do well in med school. Try to get in dermatology. Upon success, 1 year of internship, then 3 years of residency. After that, it's up to you whether you should do a fellowship or not (another 1 year).?what qualifications would you need to become a dermatologist?
Dermatology is a special field of medicine, so you would need to become a fully qualified doctor of general medicine first. This takes +/- 7 years, depending on where you live.





Once you've done that, you and intern and work at the same time to specialise - this will take a further 4 years.?what qualifications would you need to become a dermatologist?
Graduate college


Graduate medical school, including required


internship/residencies


Passing tests and requirements for board certification

To become dermatologist, you have to go to medical school, but in order to go to medical school, it is recommended to take this classes.


1] Organic Chemistry


2] Physics


3] Calculus





Once you've gotten your 4 year degree from an accredited school and taken the MCAT, then you finally go to medical school. There when you've been accepted at one of the medical schools, you study about medicines all 4 years there. There the science based curriculum is will include:


1] Clinical human anatomy and gross anatomy


2] Biochemistry


3] Physiology


4] Histology


5] Microbiology


6] Pathology


During your year two of medical school, you'll take the first part of the United States Medical Licensing Examination [or USMLE] so that it helps to gauge how well a student can apply basic sciences to the practice of medicine. The second part of the exam is taken usually during medical school student's senior year and the third part typically during first year of residency.

Anything you want. You will need to go to medical school after college, and then apply for a dermatology residency (very competitive) once you are in medical school. You are looking at 4 years college + 4 years med school + 4 years residency - MINIMUM. You will need pre-requisites that med schools require - so most people end up being a biology major - but that is not your only option.What do i have to major in college in order to become a dermatologist? please help :)?
To become a dermatologist, a bachelor's degree in a science discipline is required, followed by four years of medical school and a residency specializing in dermatology.
I believe you would have to major in biology or biochemistry.

What is it like being a dermatologist?

What kind of work do they do and what is the job on a daily basis?


How much do they usually make and do you have to go to medical school for it or just a 2 year degree somewhere?


thanks!!!What is it like being a dermatologist?
Dermatologists are Medical Doctors. They go to university, medical school, they intern, and they complete a residency program. During the residency program they choose to specialize in Dermatology.





Dermatologists deal with skin conditions. My Dermatologist also injects people with Botox if they want it. But she mainly focuses on skin conditions and skin diseases.





I don't know how much they make.





If you don't mind dealing with skin day in and day out then it might be the career for you.





If Medical School is not for you, then becoming a Medical Assistant or Physician's Assistant might be the next best thing. You can get your degree in that and work for a Dermatologist.

My son was prescribed Retin-A for acne. It is really harsh on his skin and his dermatologist is out of town.?

Does anyone know if it can be mixed with lotion or a moisturizer prior to applying to the face? Thank you!My son was prescribed Retin-A for acne. It is really harsh on his skin and his dermatologist is out of town.?
Yes, it can be used with a moisturizer. Try using one that is hypo-alergenic and oil-free. Neutogena makes a good one that also has SPF 15 sunscreen in it, which he should be using anyway with a product such as retin-A which increases sensitivity to sunlight.My son was prescribed Retin-A for acne. It is really harsh on his skin and his dermatologist is out of town.?
how often is he applying it. that sort of creme is harsh when applied too often and there is currently not enough oil for the med to work on so it goes after the skin. try using it every other day or as often as needed to be comfortable w/o too much oil.
call his family physician and ask them
Stop using the prescribed medication if it doing more harm than good.
he should be really careful about exposure to the sun. that can make him turn red quickly. if the irritation keeps up, have him stop taking it until you can talk to his doctor.
How long has he been on it?


It sometimes looks worse before it gets better. If he's having alot of skin irritation I would try using it every other day, until your dermatologist is back in town. But it is an excellent way to clear up acne, so don't give up on it, just cut back the number of times using it for now, so his skin can adjust.
Can't you call the pharmacy?

To become a dermatologist, you will first attend four years of college, taking the MCATs senior year, majoring in pre-med, or a science, or another area but including all the science/math pre-requisites for med school admission.





You then take four years of medical school, during which you will do clerkships and clinical rotations through the various medical specialty areas. You will also begin taking the multi-part National Board exams. During the fourth year, you will sign up for the national match program, to be matched with an internship [one year, optional for some specialties] or a residency [3-5 years or more, depending on specialty].





After residency, you may elect to do a fellowship to further specialize.





Medical school is quite expensive [no scholarships to speak of], difficult to get into and difficult to finish.





For internship and residency [and fellowship], you will be paid [modestly] and work 80-hour weeks, with 24-36-hour on-call rotations [where you usually stay in the hospital and, hopefully, get some sleep, too].

My dermatologist is considering accutane...Good or Bad?

I have been going to my local dem for almost a year now, and if my last course of antibiotics don't work, then my dermatologist considered accutane. I heard it can work very well, but it can cause damage to your internal organs also. My dermatoligist has perfect skin and she had been on accutane. Please help! Thanks.My dermatologist is considering accutane...Good or Bad?
I've been referred a few times by my family doctor and dermatologist. But, an antibiotic I am on right now seems to work very well for the time being. I've been scared to try Accutane because before you go on it they tell you so many different warning signs/possible problems. My Dad was on it for about 2 years and I've known people to go on and off of it as they please. Nothing serious has happened to them. If it's what your dermatologist has suggested you should probably try it out.


Hope this helps.My dermatologist is considering accutane...Good or Bad?
I went on the antibiotics as well, and they lead to chronic systemic yeast issues which eventually lead to my intestines not being able to absorb nutrients and I developed leaky gut and was basically sick for a few years until I figured all that out. Report Abuse

I have been on it for eight years because nothing else will work. It has stolen most of my vision, my moods are completely screwed up and possibly will remain so even if I stop, I get heart palpitations, have had two suicide attempts, lost jobs and friends because I am so angry and impulsive from the drug, but my skin look fabulous. I will try going the all raw and all organic rout with food and bath, body and cleaning products in my home, and see if I can finally stop taking this life destroying drug.

Remember you get what you pay for.





A lot of the home products don't have half of the ingredients and chemicals that a dermatologist will have. This is because the law doesn't allow companies to sell potentially harmful products to people that don't know how to use them.





Although the dermatologist will be more expensive, it will get you better results and lots of follow up care and advice.

Dermatologist mole removal age?

Is it possible to go to a Dermatologist to have mole removal at 14?Dermatologist mole removal age?
Yes.





Moles can be removed at any age. Moles are typically removed in one of two ways. The most common is what is known as a shave removal. This is where the mole is essentially ';shaved'; off with a scalpel. In this case, no stitches are used. The other way is with an excision. In this case, the area around and under the mole is removed and stitches are placed. The decision of which way is used will be based on the type of mole.





In either case, local anesthesia is used to numb the area. This is done with a small needle where the anesthesia is placed right under the mole itself. There is a pinch and then some burning which lasts 3-5 seconds after which there is no pain at all. Because of this, it is usually easier to perform the procedure on older children (including your 14 year old).





Overall, the procedure is very straight forward and usually takes only a matter of minutes to complete. It should be no problem with a 14 year old.





Good Luck.

Remedies For Dark Circles





* An instant dark circles remedy is to use the correct concealer. The shade should be lighter than your foundation. If circles are very dark, choose 2 shades lighter. Great choices can be Revlon New Complexion Concealer, Estee Lauder Smoothing Skin Concealer, Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer, or Neutrogena Smoothing Skin Stick.





* Apply a good Vitamin K cream. Vita-K Solution gel or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue help strengthen capillary walls around the dark circles to make them less visible.





* One should go for laser treatment only if the case is chronic. Lasers can increase production of collagen thereby thickening skin to make dark circles less visible.





* Home remedies for dark circles can include the following:


1. Drink plenty of water to combat dehydration.


2. Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent more sun damage.


3. Get enough sleep.


4. Leave cold teabags, cucumber or potato slices, or washcloths with ice cubes on eyes for 15 minutes regularly.


5. Take iron supplements if anemic, but consult your doctor first.


6. Identify the allergens and avoid them. Whether it be pollen, food, whatever, avoidance is the best solution to this. And avoid rubbing your eyes.





* Hylexin is the first dark circles eye cream developed for serious dark circles. Featured in several magazines such as Marie Claire, FashionWeekDaily, The Wall Street Journal , Star and Luck.





* One of the greatest remedies for dark circles is Arbonne's NutriMinC庐 RE9 Repair. It鈥檚 a corrective puffiness and dark circles eye cream that does additional benefits 鈥?firming, moisturizing and repairing the delicate tissue around the eye.I am a black woman with dark pigmentation under my eyes, I would like to find a dermatologist to help me.?

Cna you please name a SPECIFIC one that I can buy at my local Target?


I've heard something about yellow or green concealers help cover acne scars REALLY WELL-- True? If so, can someone name a concealer like this? Price of it would be great too.


Thanks soo much in advance.I need a concealer to cover up my acne scars... I am treating my scars w/ a dermatologist prescribed medicine?
Since you are already using a prescription medication to heal your scars, stick to the treatment only. Do not add on other products because they may interact negatively or irritate your skin.





As for concealers, avoid color correcting concealers (green, yellow, etc.). They are tricky to use and show up under different lighting giving your face a funny cast.





I recommend choosing a concealer and/or a medium coverage foundation that matches your skin tone.





L'Oreal True Match is good line to consider because it has a wide range of colors.





Revlon, Maybelline, and Physician's Formula are reliable too.





Cover Girl Aqua Smooth makeup has gotten some good reviews.





Try to find an oil-free, fragrance-free formula that matches your skin. Consider shopping at a drug store with a satisfaction guaranteed return policy so you can return in. I'm not sure Target is as lenient once you've opened the package.





For product reviews and recommendations, I go to:

Ingore the person who said Proactive. Proactive doesnt work at all, if it would work that good, why isn't it in sotres? Why do u have to purchase Proactive online or somewhere else? Plus, Proactive only helps with acne, zits, and big pimples, not acne scars so it wont help you. U can uy it to prevent more acne from coming, but i doubt it will work. Just stick with this plan...





Dont put Vaseline on ur chin either, it just makes it oiler and can cause more acne to come because it contains pedtuolum jell in it. If u can go to ur nearest drugstore and purchase something called ';Curad Scar Therapy';, its made for all type of scars, pigment scars, injuries from scars, acne scars, ect.





It cost about $15.00 and will work in about 8 weeks and in that 8 weeks, you'll notice that all the scars would have faded away, they wont harm ur skin and their just clear pads you have to wear everyday for 12 hours for 8 weeks, do not skip a single day or it will not work for u. Follow directions when u buy it. Any questions? Message me :)





p.s., ask ur doctor if you should try this product, i'm sure he will say okay
proactive works well
I have experienced all that, it will not work in the long -run, ... Use retinAcream before you go to bed... %26amp; make sure you wash it off next morning before you go under the sun.... 'cos you need to get a clear answer for the acne...without covering up for the moment...

Help im off to dermatologist?

I have been referred to a dermatology department due to a change in a mole on my leg, i also have loads more moles. Could anyone please tell me what will actually happen at this clinic thanks.Help im off to dermatologist?
I see a dermatologist regularly. Usually they just look at a mole or spot to determine if there is a problem. If they suspect a problem they may have to take a biopsy of it to check for cancer. They can also perform laser surgery to remove it.





With the growing number of melanoma's it is always best to have any changes to your skin checked out. Good luck! Hope everything is fine.

Yep. It'll probably go away when your older but if it bothers you now definitely go see a derm. There's no harm in going, my sister used to have acne and the doctor gave her a nice cream that cleaned everything up lol so I'd say you have nothing to lose :)Should i see a dermatologist?
It will probably go away on it's own but you do want to prevent things like scarring and hyperpigmentation.





Washing isn't always the best approach and can worsen the problem sometimes, so it is a good idea to see a dermatologist.

Could be cancer, or not. Waiting for biopsy results isn't easy. It IS more reliable than speculation from someone who's never seen your boyfriend's spot.My boyfriend just had a raised blue dot cut out of his skin by a dermatologist. what could it be?
I guess you will have to wait for the results, thats why they are sending it in.
Its probably just a blue mole, benign, nothing to work about. Is it possible he was stabbed by a pen or pencil at some point in time and forgot about it? If so, it could be somewhat of a tattoo. Also, was it completely removed or can you still see some of the blue there? Was it bothering him?(itchy, dry, scaly?)The dermatologist should contact you with results and what needs to be done about it. Results should be back within a week if you are really concerned.
I concur with #4 answerere. It probably was just a mole. Since it is odd in color, though not totally uncommon, they remove it an biopsy it to make sure. I had one on my arm. Drove me nuts for years. Finally when I had my thyroid surgery done, I asked them to remove it. Came back fine. It was just ugly as heck. It is typically the black or ones that change color. Mine was from me picking at a scab over and over again in my teen years. It eventually grew into a mole that was gross.
Who knows? The dermatologist would have told you if he could have made a reasonable guess. But it's gone now, anyway and if there was anything dubious the dermatologist will probably tell you and you can certainly ask him once he's got the lab report.

There is this new popular cream that people have been talking about.





It was even televised on TV.





It prevents future and existing acne, diminishes scars, and lightens skin and blemishes. Fast results too! (It's been claimed that major results can be seen within a week and no later than two weeks)





Before and After photos are available at the given ebay site.





This person is providing 1-3 week trial samples (Only for ONE DOLLAR.. definitely a deal) on ebay at:





Search up ';Cee En's Acne Solution'; or ';best acne solution ever'; on ebay.





First 100 customers can get the item for $1 for one week trial and up to 3 weeks. Or you can purchase 1 month supply for $40 or 6 month supply for $160





It's expensive, but the product DOES work.





My sister and cousin who both have major acne have tried the product and they both give it thumbs up. I have also heard many great feedbacks about this cream.





I don't have a problem with acne, but it seems to have great results on my sister who has moderate to severe acne. Her acne swelling went away overnight.








I hope this helps. =)Information about Dermatologist and Acne?
Acne starts with a basic infection: blackheads or pimples. They appear due to the enlargement of pores that are covered by grease, dead skin cells or bacteria. Invisible to the naked eye, the pimple prowls under the skin surface, waiting for the right moment to grow and become an infection.





While the skin keeps producing grease, bacteria blossoms inside the inflamed pore. The skin surrounding the area expands the inflammation until white blood cells start fighting the intruding bacteria.


Even though pimples are essentially born the same way, they may take different forms and react differently according to the person who has them.








If you are looking for an Acne Treatment ,then i would suggest you
