What are the requirements for becoming a dermatologist?

Pre-med (prereq's for medical school), taking the mcat (medical college admissions test), medical school/intern and then residency (where one specializes in the branch of medicine that interests them). One's grades in prereq's as well as overall gpa (grade point average) should be stellar as competition is keen to gain acceptance into med school. Most aim to get into a few different medical schools due to the competitiveness and each med school may have their own prereq courses that they would like to student to have had. ('Human anatomy' doesn't usually transfer but instead most schools want 'anatomy and physiology' as a pre-med course.)

I have very sensitive skin. My dermatologist has told me to only use Cetaphil cleanser to wash my face, but?

it doesn't take off my makeup. I use bare minerals makeup so it isn't like I'm using a really heavy makeup or anything. What's another face cleanser, as gentle as Cetaphil, that will also effectively remove my makeup?I have very sensitive skin. My dermatologist has told me to only use Cetaphil cleanser to wash my face, but?
My ethstitician who does my facials suggested I try a brand called Dermalogica for face wash and skin care. It is very mild- but leaves you feeling clean and fresh. It is kind of expensive but super hypoallergenic. Good luck, sensitive skin is such a bummer.I have very sensitive skin. My dermatologist has told me to only use Cetaphil cleanser to wash my face, but?
my cousins and I all use a little vaseline or crisco around the eye area before we go to sleep, it takes off the makeup and mosturizes the eye area, and since both are pure, they won't irritate your skin.
Why don't you ask your dermatologist? They told you to use Cetaphil for a reason.
There's a brand called Simply Pure. It's a cleanser for the most sensitive skin and takes off makeup. Also, the Dove Bar would be great for you. Neutrogena's Foaming Cleanser is also good, recommended by my dermatologist, but I don't know if it is sensitive enough for you. Good luck! I hope you find something.
when your wearing make up your ment to pre cleanse and then cleanse


meaning cleanse then cleanse again or get some baby wipes ,make up wipes or make up remover to help getting your make up off then use cetaphil
puritycosmetics.co.uk is a good brand.

Went to dermatologist to get bleaching cream for my brown spots on my face. But cream broke my skin. help rep

I need help finding a cream that will help heal my skin. I thought maybe honey would help?Went to dermatologist to get bleaching cream for my brown spots on my face. But cream broke my skin. help rep
I went to Bath %26amp; Body %26amp; asked a sales clerk for the same problem. They sold me a bleaching roll-on. It's been mmm 2 months %26amp; the marks are almost gone. I tend to have sensitive skin %26amp; no problems yet.Went to dermatologist to get bleaching cream for my brown spots on my face. But cream broke my skin. help rep
honey is not a good choice...even though this seems like a bad thing...i would go to another dermatologist to see what they can do to help...every dermatologist isnt the best..thats why you have to find a very good one...
Call back the doctor and tell him what happened exactly. This does happen sometimes, prescriptions react differently on people. For now, cold water on your face to calm the burning. If you have Vitamin E oil just dab some on the irritated spots. Don't worry doctors cannot always predict what will happen but know how to fix it. At the same time, did you use it properly. At any case don't worry. You will be fine. Take care.
Not sure how bad of an area you are trying to bleach, but I had a LOT of sun damage to my nose, which caused so much freckling that it turned it brown. eeek. I used Retin-A for about 3 months and there is not one trace of freckling on my nose currently, it got rid of all of it. Not sure if it would work for you or not, but you might want to investigate.
You definitely need to let your dermatologist know. You might be having an allergic reaction to the cream. I went to a dermatologist in Jr. High. He had me take Retina for my acne and it caused my skin to become so sensitive to the touch that if I scraped my skin it was then raw. I wouldn't use anything else on your face until you talk with your dermatologist because it might have a reaction with the medicine you already are putting on your face. If your dermatologist will not prescribe something better and different to you, I would then find another one and then let them know your situation and what happened to your skin.
The dermatologist should be notified of this problem and to advise you on what to do.


Don't think their are to many derm doctors on here do you think?

Is a dermatologist the doctor i would go to in order to remove a wart on my leg?

Yes, dermatologists deal with skin and skin issues. But I would definitely try your primary care doctor first. It may be something that they can remove without going to a dermatologist. They also sell wart removal creams, ect... in the grocery stores or a drug store.Is a dermatologist the doctor i would go to in order to remove a wart on my leg?
A wart or a mole? You can buy medicine yourself to get rid of warts. Or your regular primary doctor can give you medicine. You could see a dermatologist though to make 100% sure it is in fact a wart.Is a dermatologist the doctor i would go to in order to remove a wart on my leg?
i had one on my finger and i went to my regular doc. She suggested me to put a piece of duct tape over it. My own doc i kno!!! But i had her freeze it off anyway, and it blistered first then just peeled right off. It took about a week total

Had cornrows last year, should I see a dermatologist to check for signs of alopecia?

And what makes you think you have that?
