❗️It can be tempting to address your pimples on your own, considering other people seem to have worked it out using over-the-counter products.
🔎However, while there are a lot of great skincare items in the market, prescription-grade medications, whether oral or topical, may be better suited to your skin issue.
👩⚕️At the heart of it, acne is a pathologic condition that has a medical solution. Moreover, knowing what product to use is just half the battle – it is important to know how to use them, what to watch out for, how to address side-effects, and how to safely combine active agents. Improper use of products will not help your acne problem and can even make it worse.
💡Your dermatologist is there to help you muddle through all the information on acne and guide you towards the best combination of medications for your needs. Don’t be afraid to voice out your concerns with your doctor – whether it’s about purging, possible side effects, and even cost of treatment. Ultimately, your dermatologist is here to help you achieve better skin health.
