Talking About Dermatology

Hello, my name is Rikki. When I was a young adult, I struggled with severe acne on my face and body. Over-the-counter products and traditional cleansing techniques did not do anything to clear up the blemishes. I was also plagued with constant scars on my face from the healing acne. I finally went to a dermatologist to receive prescription medications for my skin. I was surprised to see the acne clear up right away. I would like to share information about dermatologist exams and treatments to help other people have acne-free skin as well. Thanks.
