Dermatologist and Insurance????

Please! I really want to see a Dermatologist but I dont have insurance. My dad cant cover for me anymore and I just turned 19. I%26#039;m working now and i want to save my money to see a one soon, but i heard if u have insurance it will help cover a lot.





My face is bad and I drink like 6 bottles of water a day but my face is just so bad and getting worst. It makes me so mad and i always have to wear makeup to cover my acne :(





I dont want to pay 200 dollars or 100 dollars to see the Dermatologist, thats too expensive.





1. Is there anyway i can talk to a Dermatologist on the Internet???


2. Can i call one of them and ask for help???





Thank u all so much for ur help and I appreciate it.|||I don%26#039;t think MediCade covers dermatologist visits. You should ask your employer about insurance. Even if you are part time. Most companies offer insurance for part time employees now days. You can also go to WebMD.com and look up acne and see what treatments they recommend. I would also try a new skin care line. I know they be expensive but well worth it. Try Clarins or Clinique. Just let them know you have some skin concerns and that you have sensitive skin. Most people with breakouts have sensitive skin. It%26#039;s also a good idea to start with a sensitive skin line because you don%26#039;t want to shock your skin. This could make the problems worse. If you use a drug store brand try to make sure you don%26#039;t use one with alcohol in it. It%26#039;s damaging and will make your issues worse.|||YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR MEDCAID|||you should call one up and ask (like what you asked)|||Have you always had bad skin or has it started getting bad recently?


If it started getting bad in your late teens, talk to your GP first, they might be able to help you and prescribe something. Acne is often a result of hormonal changes, not just skin deep. Birth control, PCOS and thyroid problems can all cause acne to worsen.


When I was in college I used to work as a receptionist for my mom, who is a dermatologist. Many of the females who came with acne problems actually had PCOS and ended up being referred to a gynecologist/endocrinologist.


Write down all the changes in your life: have you started new birth control, started gaining or losing weight? If yes, a GP can help you identify the problem and prescribe medication. If you have had any drastic weight changes, irregular periods or hairloss in addition to acne, you should see your GP anyway because untreated PCOS can cause fertility problems and untreated thyroid conditions can cause long-term damage.





If you have always had bad skin, you can try using OTC products and see if they help.


Never trust a doctor who writes prescriptions or gives advice without actually seeing you. It%26#039;s very dangerous.


You can call and see if some doctors in your area charge on a sliding scale or ask your friends because some doctors give discounts for referral patients.
