A member asked:

I would like to take a hormone blood test and see if something is triggering my acne. should i visit a gp first or go straight to a dermatologist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pick up the phone: The office crew of most practitioners would usually know if a given doc would provide such services. This is often a local issue & some GP's offer more services than others. Some dermatologists might not even consider such testing.
