What can a dermatologist do for acne?

A dermatologist can assess your acne and may choose to prescribe many of the same treatments (creams, gels, antibiotics) that may be prescribed by a GP, but a dermatologist can also offer additional advice and management options for acne that is not well controlled. Dermatologists can prescribe Isotretinoin (Roaccutane), as well as other specialist treatments for acne scars. It is important to consider seeing a dermatologist if you have bad acne that is not responding to treatment, particularly if scars are occurring.
