There are so many treatments for acne around that you may think you need a medical textbook to sort them out! Fortunately, that’s not the case. Your primary care doctor or dermatologist can evaluate your skin and help determine a personal skin regimen featuring acne treatment that’s right for you. That treatment could be Epiduo® Gel.
When Should You See a Dermatologist?
Although your family doctor or pediatrician can prescribe Epiduo® Gel, dermatologists are doctors who specialize in skin care. They treat all types and severities of acne, and are best suited to evaluate your skin and the type of acne treatment regimen that may be best for you.
So, consider consulting a doctor whenever acne erupts, or:
- You are unhappy with your skin and acne
- You are unsatisfied with the acne treatments you have tried so far
- Your acne has a negative impact on your emotional well-being
- You’ve started noticing that cleared acne lesions are leaving scars
- You are confused about available treatment options and looking for direction
If any of these statements describes you and your acne, now would be a good time to make an appointment to see a dermatologist. Need another good reason? Consider this: today, dermatologists can treat nearly every case of acne—and help prevent future breakouts and scarring as well.
