I was hoping it would just help slough off the dry skin, plus I have read a lot of good stuff about it onlline. But, I also don't need anything to make my skin anymore dry!! Thanks!

She says it really helps with fine lines and minimizes pores. Do you think it would be ok for someone with relatively dry skin and no breakouts? Thanks!

Unfortunately Suzanne doesn't take Aetna (or maybe any insurance at all?), but the other two doctors do and they are great! I had the same problem as Slynnro, serious breakouts from wedding planning stress. Not just little pimples, those painful cystic acne breakouts. They put me on antibiotics, and those cortisone shots are amazing! I can't believe I waited until 2 months before the wedding to finally see a dermatologist. I was scared of dermatologists for some strange reason... Best dermatologist in Houston – Suzanne Bruce & Associates.

I go annually away for skin scans, so I will most definitely start the discussion of what medicines are right for me as I am about to start trying to get pregnant again!

Also, hello, preventative care? I haven't seen a dermatologist in a little while. The last one I went to was terrible; I always get a reaction to salicylic acid and I told him this but he kept prescribing me crazy amounts of SA. Fortunately, birth control has helped me curb blemishes, although my skin still isn't always blemish free. Time to check my benefits packet and find a dermatologist under my health plan... THANK YOU for the reminder! I agree with Slynn — just because you don’t LOOK like you need a dermatologist doesn’t mean you don’t! Also, hello, preventative care?

I had cystic acne that would have left awful scarring. I don't have immaculate skin now, but it sure would be worse if I hadn't gone all those years. I did acutane twice, tried birth control pills, and took every known antibiotic known to my young mind. While my acne was still bad, my junior and senior high school photos show an incredible before and after. I haven't thought much about going as an adult. I've had friends getting skin cancer removed, and I'm sure I have a couple of suspicious spots. The dermatologist is not something to be scared of! Go, go, go!

If he won't refer you to a derm, which ALL good doctors should, then what else is he not doing for you? To me that is VERY questionable behavior. Everyone needs to see a dermatologist annually for a full body check for skin cancer, regardless of whether they are dealing with acne or not. That would be a very telling sign to me that perhaps this doctor doesn't have my best interests in mind. Pgoodness- this may sound a bit harsh, but honestly, if I were you I would get a new doctor.

I agree that your dermatologist is the best one to help you with acne, but I will also point out that if you have acne and bad allergies, try getting the allergies under control and the acne may go. I had the problem for years (used Mynocycline too -- am allergic to it!), but it disappeared once I began getting allergy shots. Just something else to think about. @pgoodness Skin cancer isn’t a good enough reason?
