Wasn't sure where to put this...I have acne, have battled it since adolescence, I'm in my mid-twenties now. The only time I have been acne free really was the second half of my pregnancy. I'm pretty sure I have tried every primary care acne treatment at one time or another and GP has referred me to dermatology for isotretinoin (accutane). That was a month ago and my NHS appt is not until May. I am going through a particularly bad patch of it atm and am getting new scarring every few days on top of my scarring from a few years ago. I feel sick with a anxiety about it. I contacted a local private hospital for a quote and they said the initial consultation would be around £150 but would not give me any further quotes. I need to know roughly how much it would cost for the entire treatment service before I could consider whether we can afford it or not.
Has anyone done this privately? How much did it come to in the end? I am in NW England.
