When to Consulate a Doctor About Acne
Since acne is a very common problem that over 85% of teens
face at one point or another, it is not always necessary to visit a doctor when a
mild breakout occurs. At-home treatments such as the LexLi Acne Kit means a
visit to the doctor is not necessary to receive medical solutions. The philosophy
for deciding whether or not to see a doctor is simple: watch and wait. Acne will clear
up over time by using the LexLi Acne Kit or various other at-home treatments. Acne
problems will not be solved overnight & may take as long as two weeks to clear up.
But there are certain signs you should look out for when deciding whether or not a
doctor consultation is necessary for your breakout:
- You have been using at-home treatment for up to eight weeks and the breakout is not improving at all or getting worse.
- Blemishes increase in size and become either hard or filled with fluid.
- Facial hair development in women.
- Your current breakout started after taking a doctor prescribed medication.
- Your skin came into contact with oils, chemicals, or other harsh substances that led to a breakout
(always seek medical care immediately if the chemicals are known to be dangerous to humans).
- Scars develop after your acne starts to disappear.
