Have You Ever Been To A Dermatoogist?

I did go to the dermatologist once, but it wasn't because I had a problem with acne. On the corner of my forehead, way up high on the left side of my head by my hair line was something. It wasn't a zit, although it was the size of a medium zit. It was darker in color though. My mom scheduled me an appointment and come to find out it was tissue. Tissue growing outside of my head. Really weird, I know. How human tissue comes out of one's head to grow on the outside is beyond me. So they just froze it off. I never had any trouble again.

No, I've never been to the Dermatoogist. Haha, I see what you mean about the broken l key, kinda funny really. Hopefully that works itself out. Anyways, I've never been to the Dermatologist, but I have a friend who went for acne reasons, and the medication didn't do anything at all. But this specific friend has a few abnormalities. For one, their cells divide abnormally fast, so a broken arm that would take a month for most to heal healed in less than two weeks. In addition, they have over sensitive skin, and an abnormal amount of oil production. So stronger medications hurt too much, while weaker medications do nothing due to the overly oily skin. More or less my friend's only chance would be a product designed around her needs, which costs more than her $10 budget allows apparently.

I have not been to a dermatologist, although sometimes I think I should go in relation to some brown spots. However my doctor just says those are part of aging. Yikes!!! when did I get old?

I have been to a dermatologist as my wife was concerned about a mole on my back so I went to the hospital and had it removed. Nothing apart from that as I think I must have a tough skin as I seldom get bitten or stung by insects even when other people are getting loads of insect bites

I went to the dermatologist for the first time yesterday. I've struggled with acne for years, and I feel like I've tried everything. When I was a teenager I just had my regular doctor give me stuff to treat it. He had me using different creams and antibiotics, and even put me on birth control (to control hormones) when I was 14. When I would come back and say it wasn't working, he would accuse me of not using the stuff he was giving me. Which hurt, cause I WAS, and exactly as he directed too. I gave up trying to get him to help me and tried treating it on my own. I tried all the "miracle" lotions and potions, and when those didn't work... I tried the crazy diets. While I did have BAD days when I was a teenager ( bad as in developing some nasty boils the size of quarters), I haven't seen bad days like that since I was 15. These days, my acne's only moderate on its worst days. But it's STUBBORN. It will not respond to ANYTHING! And it's a battle that I'm really tired of fighting. Knowing my family history, it's highly likely that my acne's only going to get worse again as I grow older. I'm not sure going to the dermatologist is going to be anymore helpful than going to my regular doctor was. He prescribed some different lotions and potions and another oral antibiotic. But I'm at the end of my rope again, and I'd like to believe the experts know what they're doing.

hmm, I had heavy hairfall. so I consulted a doc who prescribed me some meds and thank God , it has its results. thanks for the topic.. have a great day/night...

I have never been. I've been blessed with clear skin. Although I do have these weird bumps on my elbows the doctor said I could go to the dermatologist if I wanted.

i just go to dermatologist three weeks ago i used to have a smooth face skin but for the last three months my face now full with pimples so i visit to know what make this pimples comes out without tolerance

I have been before. They want you to wear that sunscreen no matter what you go in there for. I went because I had an odd dot to come up on my jawline. No biggie but I have spent quite a bit of time in the sun and dots worry me. It ended up being no big deal but sunscreen was highly recommended.

I have been to a dermatologist. I was becasue when I was on birth control pills I developed brown spots on my face. I was given a cream to lighten the spots. I am not longer on birth control so I don't have to use the cream anymore! I am think going back to one because I have a spot under my mouth which is really dry and no matter what I do it contines to be dry! I hope your pimple problem gets better! I know pimples are not fun!

Hi Stephanie Ann C: Wow that's so uncool. Even with that I hope you'll be better and after following all the indications from the dermatoogist your skin will be better. I once had to go to the dermatoogist because I have an irritation on my hands. Doctor give me a cream and it works. ALVARO

I haven't been to a dermatologist but I want to. Unfortunately, I don't know how to consult to a dermatologist and I don't know if that will cause me a lot. Will that cause me a lot? I don't have problem with pimples but I have a problem with my skin tone. My body has a lighter color than my face. I want my face to look lighter and brighter too. Some people don't think it's a problem but because I want to improve my look, I want to have lighter and fairer face! But I'm a little embarrassed to ask my mom to let me see a dermatologist.

Actually wearing sunscreen is a must. Even our body skin need to be sun blocked there is no harm preventing a skin cancer. And for your face if the dermatologist prescribed it please followed it, I had a friend who didn't follow the advice and end up burning her face, she doesn't want to put on sunscreen too.

I almost go to a dermatologist before because of my pimples.But a friend advice me to just change my eating lifestyle and stop using different products on my face.As of now just one or two pimple once in while.Thank God,cause its really irritating having pimples.

I have. I had black spots on my dface and had these removed.I also have psoriasis on my feet and consulted a skin specialist for this.

A pimple that turned in a cyst? How awful! I have never been to one but my ex has been. He had really bad skin and on his back he would get these boil-type things that oozed puss. Ugh! Right? When he could afford it he had a dermatologisyt do an acid burn and took the top layer of skin off and alot of the scarring. He had take some medicine too for awhile. It is expensive!

i had visited the dermatologist one time because of a persistent itching on my fingers. turned to be allergy. i was prescribed cream and gel, too, and an anti allergy pill which was said to be a maintenance. i stopped using the pill because it is making me very sleepy at work. i only take it when the itching appears again.

I am a guy, and I don't need a dermatologist for any beauty improvement for now. As matter of fact, my ex - girlfriend had went to the dermatologist for more than several occasion, and she just want to be more beautiful. Now, I think of it, I regret that I waste too much time with her to gone to those dermatologists, because some of them I have to pay for her out of my pocket. I felt stupid that is all.

I did go to my derma around this time last year. I consulted what I thought was skin allergy, since it affected most of my arms, legs and part of my back. So really, derma is not only for girls' beauty improvement like someone said a while back. For acne, my derma suggested oatmeal facial wash.

It is very important to visit a dermatologist, i always have the problem of rashes and need to get advise on it. The important thing to avoid rashes is to keep the affected area dry so that no fungal infection is possible.
