Can you ask for acne medication in a checkup?

Mee asked:


I have a regular check up next month, and I was wondering if I could just ask for acne medication there, instead of making a appointment with a dermatologist, because i don’t think my doctors offer that.

Can i?
And what would I say?

thanks.

Acne treatments?

pj890 asked:


I have seen the doctor many times before about my acne but he has always just given me antibiotics and sometimes maybe a topical cream.

I have booked an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow as I am getting fed up and am considering roaccutane. Is there anything else a doctor or dermatologist could prescribe me that is stronger than antibiotics but not as severe as roaccutane?

My acne is only bad on the sides of my neck and shoulders, but it is affecting my self esteem and it can get very painful at times. My lymph glands are also constantly swollen as a result of this.

Any advice appreciated, Thanks.

Are acne laser treatments a fast and effective way to get rid of my acne and acne scars?

Ok. So just recently (like a couple of months ago) i had one of the biggest breakouts of my life. I have used just about every over-the-counter acne treatment system on the market. I have scheduled an appointment with the dermatologist for a Smoothbeam treatment. I am so sick of my acne its hard to look in the mirror. I was wondering if anyone has had a laser treatment done and how long was it before you saw results, if any.

please help!
