   When visiting the dermatologist... (Acne board)

5th February 2008
Normally I try to make appts in the early morning and I go with no make-up, but this time I had to make an appt in the late afternoon and I have to be out all day in public so I don't feel comfortable spending all day make-up free.

Ladies, do you ever go to the derm wearing make-up? I use mineral make-up that doesn't break me out and really just covers up the redness caused by the retin-a I'm using, so I'm pretty sure the derm can still get a good look at my skin even if I'm wearing it. Plus this is a follow up where he said he'd prescribe me some spironolactone, and in the lighting used in his office or even just getting really close up you can definitely see where I have some darker, coarser hairs, even with make-up on.

I don't think seeing the dermatologist while wearing a sparse amount of mineral foundation to cover the redness on my chin and cheeks will be a problem, but I'd love to hear from others who have had this experience.

Thanks!
