A member asked:
Should i go see an endocrinologist to treat my acne if i've tried everything else?

What have you tried?: If the "big guns" including systemic antibiotics, spironolacton, and Isotretinoin failed, you probably do not have acne but one of its mimics. A visit to a different dermatologist might be a better choice if you do not have other endocrine symptoms.
