Find one you trust: Understand that acne is not a simple problem and one that could last well into your 20's,30's and beyond. Find a doc you can work with and a skin program that you will follow. If you expect a quick cure from any doc you are not realistic. Your compliance with treatment and your genetic input have more to do with how things will work out over time.
