On Your Initial Visit to the Dermatologist
You may have decided to see a dermatologist due to uncontrollable acne, unpleasant acne scars or skin irritation. Maybe you are concerned about a suspicious mole or you just want to reduce signs of wrinkles and age spots.
Whatever reason you may have, be sure to be detailed and transparent with the skin specialist during your initial visit. Do not hesitate to share your preferences with your skin specialist since this can help both of you decide on the best treatment option.
Planning Ahead
You can make the most out of your appointment by being prepared. If you are considering a specific procedure to be done, list down all your questions in advance. Bring with you all the medications and supplements you are currently taking and show up free of jewellery, hair bands, nail polish and, if possible, makeup so your dermatologist can have an unobstructed view of your skin.
