Question Posted Thursday February 10 2005, 9:06 pm
hey. im going to ask my dad if he will take me to a dermatologist. im not scared about asking him though. what i really want to no before i do ask him is what they do when i go? (i have acne) and can they put me on pills or some lotion that will clear my face up?
bUtTeRfLiEs answered Friday February 11 2005, 7:10 pm: When you go to the dermotologist they look at your face and maybe feel it and will take pictures, and then they will give you prescriptions, and you go like every month so they can keep up with how your face is doing, so they know if you need different prescriptions. I must say, I went on Accutane(only for really bad cases), and it DOES REALLY WORK! But everything you go on takes about five months to actually clear your entire face.
-Hope I helped!-

poopiepantsgirly answered Friday February 11 2005, 1:22 pm: I think that you should just ask him because you need to keep you face clean. They will give you some kind of treatment, but i resantly heard about this product that is called proactive and it works really good because it clears away the acne without drying your skin. You should ask the dermatologist about the product and how you can get it.

angieroonie answered Thursday February 10 2005, 11:28 pm: a friend of mine was given pills by a doctor and they worked for her. but he (the doctor) said that it doesn't work for every body. so he may give you pills or lotion. depending on the circumstances.
fall_to_pieces answered Thursday February 10 2005, 10:36 pm: they will check your face, see how bad it is then tell you what you can do.
some will put you on a pill, others will give you a face treatmeant that you will have to use for a certain amount of time. [ fall_to_pieces's advice column | Ask fall_to_pieces A Question ]
qotsa369 answered Thursday February 10 2005, 10:35 pm: Yeah they will put you on some pills or lotion but dude take the lotion, cause alot of the pills have really bad side affects. [ qotsa369's advice column | Ask qotsa369 A Question ]
Karen answered Thursday February 10 2005, 9:49 pm: If you have really bad acne, then yes, they can put you on a pill or will prescribe you some lotions or face washes. Most of the pills work for some people and some of them don't and everyone has different side effects to each. When you go, they basically just check your acne, talk to you, and then they will decide what they can put you on. I have gone to a dermatologist, and the doctor just did what I explained and now I'm on Differin. Hope I helped :)

MaxwellsSilverHammer answered Thursday February 10 2005, 9:22 pm: Well, there isn't really any pill for acne. There is one, but it has horrible side effects of severe depression so nearly all doctors try not to prescribe it unless the acne is incredibly severe. You go, they just look at your face for a while, no procedures done or popping of anything, then they'll give you some over the counter medicine or a prescription for some sort of facial cream.
