Return To Acne Article Archive   Facial Acne - Time to Consult a Dermatologist? By Richard Sutter At some point in most of our lives, weve all pondered on this question: When it is time to consult a dermatologist? Although theres no definitive answer to the question, there are several indicators that should trigger someone to make their decision. Teenagers with acne, for instance, may have a difficult time dealing with teen acne. Although this type of acne is hormonal, and usually passes, it can get very severe. If you are a teenager or are the parents of a teenager with mild to severe acne, it may be time to consult a dermatologist. Especially if you notice acne scars related to inflamed acne, or redness and swelling which cause acne scars. The idea is to consult a dermatologist before or at the sight of an acne scar. But teenagers arent the only ones who face acne problems. Adults too, struggle with acne of various different reasons. Acne during pregnancy is quote common, as is acne during sickness and acne during hormonal imbalance. Should you consult a dermatologist? What type of acne indicates when a dermatologist is needed? It really depends on the severity of the matter. If your acne is out of control, painful, scarring, or very red, you may opt to consult a dermatologist. Especially if the acne problem is ongoing. Now if you just noticed an isolated pimple on your face for the first time, chances are no, you do not need the professional services of acne treatment from a dermatologist. Acne solutions should be sought after prior to deciding on the services of a dermatologist. Is there something that you can do to control your acne? Are you doing something to contribute to white heads, blackheads, or acne outbreaks? Most likely not. Both teenage and adult acne is caused by a buildup of oil and dirt in the skin pores, most often caused by DHT in the skin. Hormonal changes can cause an increase in DHT buildup, which causes the pore to secrete more oils. Once the pore becomes completely clogged, bacteria sets in and the blackhead is created. To combat against this, find an acne solution that attacks the buildup of DHT, and thus lowers the amount of excess oil produced in the oils, thereby eliminating the clogged pore over time. Start thinking of your facial acne as a warning sign. Remember, a dermatologist is your last solution for an acne problem. Only you can be the judge of how light, mild, or severe your acne is. After that, its time to get proactive.
