Talking to Your Doctor

Even mild cases of acne can be treated

If you have acne, but haven't discussed it with a doctor, you should consider doing so. Maybe you've tried an acne product but weren't satisfied with the results. There are other options for you to treat your acne effectively, but it is best to discuss with your doctor what specific treatment would be most helpful to you, rather than continuing to use products that you are unsure of or that may be making your acne worse.

You may feel embarrassed or uncertain about seeing a dermatologist. You may even be wondering if your acne warrants a doctor's visit at all.

Take our self-assessment quiz and find out.

What type of doctor should I see?

Family doctors, also known as general practitioners, and pediatricians handle overall health, including skincare. Dermatologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating skin problems.

It is up to you and your parents to decide which type of doctor to see about your acne. You may find that even after you visit a general practitioner or pediatrician, you still want the opinion of a specialist.

Find a dermatologist near you who can determine an appropriate treatment for your acne.

BenzaClin® Topical Gel is indicated for the treatment of acne.
