A member asked:
I have an appointment with my doctor coming up for an acne prescription. is it rude to ask for a certain prescription like accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inquire: It is appropriate to ask your doctor what medications/ treatments would be appropriate for you. Instead of asking outright to be prescribed Accutane - ask if it would be appropriate for the type of acne you have.
