I am going to go to a dermatologist soon but many of my flawless friends have gone to dermatologists. Infact we were just talking about it today what I will expect. As soon as you get into the waiting room you are going to fill a form that you have used on your skin, and you mark if you have allergies and such. It’s just a form that the dermatologist will observe to see products you have used and the condition you have today. Once you go into the room to actually tal to a dermatologist, they will greet you and they will ask you why you have came and what they can do to help you. You will then tell them your condition and they will let you hold a mirror to your face to let you show them the problems. Once you are done explaining your skin problems they will ask you many questions about what you eat, and what products you use, and they will mostly ask about your period cycle (that is if you are a chick.) Afterwards they will most probably give you some procedure ideas to help you get the results you want with no acne scars.

It depends how bad the scars are. If they are really bad they are going to consider laser treatments. if not, they will give you some lightening cream to even tone your skin and to let those scars fade. Remember once you start using some always apply sunscreen afterwards.

Dermatologists are there to help you get beautiful skin and to feel beautiful. They are not against you so no need to feel anxious or nervous. I bet you there are others that have it worse than you!

Enjoy journey to beautiful skin :)

You’re asking for a lot. I think the first thing is to get a correct diagnosis. Eczema (aka dermatitis) is related and usually less severe than psoriasis, but only a dermatologist can tell for sure. I have moderate to severe dermatitis (if untreated) have studied it pretty extensively in medical school libraries, and I wouldn’t hazard a guess.

Frankly, I wouldn’t rule out not being able to see a doctor. Check with your local human services office or the community outreach office of a hospital. I’m not telling you which therapy will work best for you. But it’s worth investigating your options. I tried many therapies (traditional, Chinese, alternative, etc.) until I found one that works. You’d better be prepared for a long hard struggle to wellness. Just make sure you’re heading up the right path, and if you don’t know what your options are, your chances of getting well are more limited.
