No.: You should remove all your makeup before the exam. Makeup would mask the severity of acne, making the choice of treatments difficult to apprenhend.

No: If you go with makeup you may need to wash it off when you get there. Bring with you all the things you have tried so far, all your meds, all your vitamins, any pills of any kind. Bring all your soaps & creams.

No: It is fine to bring your make up with you to apply after your exam. Show your doctor what you usually put on your face to include cleansers, medications, and over the counter lotions and make up. Also consider using lasers for your acne skin care to get ongoing results.
