Should i go to a Dermatologist or Acne Specialist. Which one is better ?
I went to a derm. Waste of my time. Being in my area one where such specialties are limited often specialty clinics "fly in" their doctors for certain periods and host "skin weeks". I have never felt so ashamed of myself and felt like the crud of the earth after I got out of that clinic. Sure, i was given resources and trial products to try for my problem. However, the beside communication and empathy where extremely lacking. The derm was an $%^& and my nurse at the time was not good at his job. CRAZY as it sounds i met the same dude years later in surgery. Kept talking how he made a transition from the derm clinic to surgery. I recognized him, and i bet he did me as well. But, thanks to HIPPA no words were exchanged. I would have laid into him had he said anything.
That aside, i would see a regular primary doctor. They are often just as good.
