I heard a commercial the other day on the t.v. stating that any amount of acne that a person has is a medical problem. Of course the t.v. commercial was for a new prescription product that you would have to see a doctor in order to get. It makes me wonder if that is true, that you must see a doctor for any acne, of if they are just saying that to sell their product. There are so many different products out there, and I have tried some personally that work just fine.

I don’t think at any time the amount of acne I had growing up was enough to see a doctor about. I believe I was able to manage my acne just fine on my own, with a little over the counter product and a little tender loving care. Sure there were always those kids that I went to school with, often referred to as “pizza face” (which I thought was extremely rude), that really did need to see a doctor for help with their acne. I even had a sister with some real acne issues that went to a doctor for help, only to find that a lot of her problems were the result of an allergy to eggs. I personally don’t want to medicate myself for just anything, and if there is a way to control any medical issue without drugs, I believe that you should.
