Answer 1

Just keep washing your face, and if you can see a dermatologist. Also, if your willing to try another product, I hear that Proactiv truly does work.

Answer 2

just take some pomegranate supplements and use stridex pads w/ no alcohol, aside from daily cleansing.  no offense, but you have so few blemishes that going to a dermatologist would be a waste of time.  

Answer 3

You can go to your regular doctor; but, your money would be better spent by going to a dermatologist.   There is likely a dermatologist within 50 miles of where you live.  To be sure, go to whitepages.com and in the business listings: type in dermatologist for category and then type in the city and state.   Even some places with 30,000 or fewer people have one.   Good luck; it will get better.

Answer 4

If u go to the doctor they with just tell u to go to the dermatologist. So find a dermatologist and they'll be able to find a acne treatment for u.  

Answer 5

just wash your face daily when you wakeup

Answer 6

Call your doctor and ask them to recommend a dermatologist. If you go to your primary care doctor he'll most likely just refer you to a dermatologist anyway. Then he'll prescribe the way to treat your minor problem. I have minor acne too and I use the Murad line it works better than proactive and doesn't dry out my skin.  

Answer 7

of course you can go to a regular doctor. and even if your not sure about the doctor, let me recommend two very powerful products which are prescription only. but you can ask a regular doctor to prescribe them to you. The first one is clindamycin phosphate plegets. these little wipe help SOOO MUCH!!! after you wipe your face with one of those, put some asne cream called differin on it. these two products used together make your whole face clear in like a week and a half max. Just trust me on this.  

Answer 8

Yes, I'd go talk to your doctor. They can prescribe you something. Mine did.  

Answer 9

Of course you can!

I did and I got some great stuff for my skin.

Answer 10

Sure I went to my normal doctor before for acne and I got a prescription and it was benza clin. I don't think I spelled that right. Or you can go to Dermatologist its your choice. But I don't use that anymore and the benza clin smelled very bad. Now I use proactive green tea moisturizer.

Answer 11

Go to a dermo. I had it waaay worse from football, and I got a prescription for special anti-biotic pills that keep you from getting acne and a perscription topical creme that helped a lot. I use proactiv daily too you should try that.
