Acne treatments, Accutane (Isotretinoin), Acne Scars

If you have skin problems like acne do not hide away. You may feel like your acne is not serious enough to be treated by a doctor, but most doctors perceive acne as a serious skin condition that needs to be treated at an early stage. An early diagnosis can help prevent a lot of heartache in the future.

6 reasons to visit your doctor:

1. If your acne does not go away after trying over-the-counter remedies. Always give at least two weeks of one treatment before moving onto another.
2. You have a large amount spots on either your face, back, neck and other parts of your body.
3. Your acne is at risk of scarring your skin.
4. You have cystic acne - cystic acne is the large painful boils that have no heads (white puss).
5. If your skin is flushed on your cheeks, nose, chin or forehead you may have rosacea.
6. Your acne is making you feel clinically depressed - is your acne making you stay away from school or work?
