Do dermatologists need to take a blood sample in order to give you acne medication?

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.
