I highly recommend seeing a dermatologist when you have acne. Acne can be so difficult to treat, it's nice to have a pro on your side to help you manage the ins and outs of treatment.

Ready for your first visit to the dermatologist? Let's get prepared!

How to Prepare for Your Dermatology Appointment
If you want to make the most of your time spent with the dermatologist, spend just a few minutes preparing for the visit. Here are some steps you can take beforehand so that you'll get the biggest bang for your buck.

How To Find the Right Dermatologist
First, you'll probably need to actually find a dermatologist. These tips will show you how to choose the one that's right for you.

Dealing With Discomfort During the Exam
I've been known to put off doctor's visits just because they can be a bit embarrassing and uncomfortable (really, I don't want anyone examining my skin that closely.) It helps if I repeat this mantra: my doctor has seen it all before.

What Your Derm Wishes You Knew
Want to become your dermatologist's favorite patient? (Doesn't hurt, especially if you want to score some preferential treatment.) Here are 5 things your dermatologist wishes you knew about acne treatment.

From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

Whether it's some awesomely bad advice (disguised as "help") or a flat out rude remark, when you have acne you've heard your share of them all. So, this week's newsletter is all about what not to say to someone with acne.

Keep using your treatments this week.

Angela


10 Things Not To Say To Someone With Acne
We've all been on the receiving end of some careless, thoughtless, and downright offensive remarks. Here is my top 10 list of things you should never say to someone with acne. (And yes, I've heard them all.)

Share Your "What Not To Say"
Did your "what not to say" make the list? What's the worst comment someone made about your skin, acne, or skin care routine?

How To Deal With Bad Skin Care Advice
Many people think they are actually being helpful, offering what they believe is the perfect solution to our skin problems. As if we've been doing nothing but waiting for them to come along and "enlighten us". Here's how to deal with these people, politely.

What Not To Say About Health Issues
Those of us with acne aren't the only ones on the receiving end of thoughtless remarks. Apparently those people get around, doling out their "advice" about a wide range of health issues.
