After years of medications for my awful facial skin and scalp, my GP referred me to a dermatologist last year and the appointment is next week.
I have a folder in my phone of photos and have the NHS app to list the meds I’ve tried across the years.
I have quite prominent broken thread veins on both cheeks that my foundation (Estee Lauder DW) doesn’t properly conceal. In addition to the redness, I get painful cystic spots and daily whiteheads. My scalp is red raw with lumps and pustules.
Does anyone that has been to a dermatologist have any advice on the things I should be asking for? Is it likely they’ll just prescribe different medication, or might I receive treatment such as lasers for the veins?
Thanks.
