Where do you go if your dermatologist doesnt know what to do?
I have had a really embarrassing skin problem(face) for over a year now.
I have been to so many skin places from one dermatologist to another, beauty clinics and other places. And recently i went to a new skin specialist and i pretty much paid him $150 for him to say i dont know what to do or how to help you. So now im at a dead end no one knows how to help me im at the point where i thought of suicide the other day.
Anyone know where i can go to get some SERIOUS help?
Please im desperate I mean my life is ruined. too embarrassed to get a job pretty much hiding from everyone.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters Call the nearest University Medical Center and make an appointment at the Dermatology Clinic. You may have to wait awhile to get in but you will get the best, most up to date care at a teaching hospital or a clinic attached to a teaching hospital.
You didn't mention what your skin problem is, but i'm suspecting that it's acne. I find it very difficult to believe that you've been to so many dermatologists without any help. (Of course, any non-dermatologist that you might have seen don't count.) You didn't mention what remedies were offerred to you. Why not repost your question with more specific details, so that a reasonable answer can be given here. Source(s): I'm a skin doc.
First you need to be specific about your face problems. I`ve read about Accutane for serious skin disorders but its side effects are STRONG and need to be suppervised. It is not recommended easily and ussualy. I also have embarrassing skin problems with acnes for years but I didn`t think about suicide. You didn`t mention are you a male or a female? Maybe to check your hormones if sebum and acne are the problem. Contact real help.Good luck
Ask a derm to prescribe Accutane. I'm sure you've been down the Benzoyl Peroxide path. Accutane is rough, bunch of bad side effects, but it is effective. Look into it.
Go see a shrink.Everything will be okay.
