About Acne Getting the Most from Your Doctor
Friday, 7 August 2009
There’s nothing trivial about having acne problems. If you are one of the millions that suffer from acne outbreaks
you know that it can be uncomfortable and even sometimes devastating to someone who is seriously afflicted. As you consider treatment options
you may want the professional help of a physician or dermatologist. These highly trained specialists can be invaluable in helping you achieve clear skin again. While they are not magicians who can make your acne disappear overnight
they can be essential in diagnosing and treating you so that you don’t have to suffer any longer than necessary.
It is important to remember a few things when visiting a skin care specialist. Because there are so many people in the world that suffer from acne outbreaks
dermatologists are often very busy with lots of clients. Don’t let this vex you; a doctor is concerned about your condition and wants to help you. Here are some things that you can do to maximize your visit when you see them. Having effective doctor visits will help you overcome your acne sooner and also help you save money and time.
First
don’t be afraid to ask questions about your condition. Remember
we are all different
so a treatment that is highly effective with one person is not necessarily what is going to work for you. Knowledge about the particulars of your condition will help you better understand the condition you are trying to overcome. You may even want to write down any specific questions you may have to make sure you cover all the topics you want to know about.
The most important aspect of having an effective doctor visit is good communication. By keeping some facts or aspects about your condition from the dermatologist
you are only hurting yourself by giving them an incomplete knowledge of the facts. The doctor can only base his diagnosis on what you have told him
so try to be thorough with the details about your acne. Tell them how long your acne has been affecting you
what other treatments you’ve attempted to do before
what worsens your condition
and any other factors that you think may apply. Tell them how your acne is affecting you emotionally and socially
as mental health is synonymous with your physical health.
Once your doctor and you have discussed your condition
make sure that you fully understand what they will be doing in regards to your treatment. Be sure to understand the correct way to apply the treatment
how long the treatment will last
and how long it will be before you begin to see results. Also
be sure and find out if there are any side effects that go along with the use of the treatment; this will help you be better prepared for any occurrences or problems that may arise. Schedule a follow-up appointment with the doctor and discuss what the status of your condition should be when you return. If you are knowledgeable about the treatment and looking for the desired results
you will know sooner whether your current method is working or not.
Remember that there are many treatments available that work better or worse for different people. Don’t be discouraged if the first method you try does not attain the desired results. Be patient and work with your doctor and you will soon be able to find the most effective treatment that is right for you.
