I live in Ontario, and when I look in the phone book, there are no numbers for dermatologists. In fact, the only time I've ever seen one is through a referral from my doctor. Do I have to get a referral to see one or what?Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
Yes, you would most likely need to have a referral from your Primary Care Physician to be able to see a dermatologist. I have a friend who is from Canada and she needs to have her Primary Care Physician refer her to different specialists.

If I study biotechnology, will that help with becoming a dermatologist?
I'm still a little confused as to why/how studying biotechnology will help with becoming a dermatologist, if it helps at all. Does it?If I study biotechnology, will that help with becoming a dermatologist?
i think u need to have an mbbs to become oneIf I study biotechnology, will that help with becoming a dermatologist?
It could and would help. But I think that's all more of a doctor's or a forensics's scientist's job. Dermatologist don't really need that stuff but it's a good idea to have just in case.

Can i see a dermatologist without insurance?
How would i be able to see a dermatologist if i have no insurance? is getting a consultation very expensive if i pay out of pocket? Does it depend on what is being looked at? I am a working college student and I am concerned about a mole that has the signs of being precancerous. Any info would help.Can i see a dermatologist without insurance?
You may have to put a percent of the visit down. Depending on the doctor they may work some payment plan out with you. Let them know beforehand. Usually you do not pay the rest of it until after the visit and if you do not have it then you just do not have it. They will just have to bill you.Can i see a dermatologist without insurance?
Yea, you're going to have to pay. An appointment if probably a flat rate, but if it is serious then sh it can get expensive really fast. Your campus should have a health services department, but they might not have a dermatologist. Not having insurance sucks, but a mole is probably something that wont disqualify you as a preexisting condition.
Have you gone to your campus health center? They would be able to look at the mole and advise you further. Expensive or not, you may have to have it check out anyway.
If you are going to college I would suggest getting health insurance through the university if they have it. Then you can go see a dermatologist.
University health insurance is not that exspensive
a consoltation can be free.
Go to your schools doctor and get them to biopsy it.
Should cost about 80 to 180 bucks.
Its worth the releif of knowing.
Yes u can.I had a mole just removed and it cost 150 for the dr visit and 250 for them to send it to be tested for cancer.
sure you can
im 12 and i just went to a dermantoligist this year and i no that we dont have ensurance and we got in just fine

you can see any doctor without insurance, you just have to pay for it (assuming your in the US).
Just call any office and ask them how much it costs for a consultation.
of causel. and it is not that expansive. Treatment is another story.
Of course you can, but its not going to be cheap!
aside from paying for it yourself, perhaps your citys social services can assist you with medical coverage

What's the cheapest way to get a mole removed, dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
I know you can go to either to get a mole removed, but whats cheaper?What's the cheapest way to get a mole removed, dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
I went to the dermatoligest and he said that he wouldnt remove it for me because it would leave a scar if he did it (mine is on my face)
I went to the plastic surgen adn she did it up front and surgery covered it all.
She said surgery will cover any 3 moles at a time.
(:What's the cheapest way to get a mole removed, dermatologist or plastic surgeon?
Dermatologist.
-Insurance usually covers dermatologists and they think that Plastic surgery is cosmetic and they wouldn't pay for it because insurance always tries to make any excuse not to pay.
-If you don't have insurance, I'd still say the dermatologist because plastic surgeons usually want to make sure that you have all the money like right now.
You can get detailed information at: http://generalclick.blogspot.com/2009/05/no-more-moles-and-warts.html
Plastic surgeons usually want cash up front, derms can be covered by insrance. I'd go to the derm for this one.

What kind of Dr should I see for Blepharitis? A dermatologist or eye dr?
I have been to an eye specialist 3 times to have this checked out and all 3 times they have not been able to tell me what it is or how to get rid of it ... thank God for the internet!What kind of Dr should I see for Blepharitis? A dermatologist or eye dr?
A regular physician could be of help. I find it hard to believe an opthamologist couldn't tell you what it is, because that's fairly simple. It's an inflammation of the eyelids, usually at the margins. As to the cause, if it's not due to staph infection or seborhea (like dandruff of the eyelids, basically) then it's would be hard to nail an exact cause. Sometimes, like all sh*t, it just happens. It's also very difficult to get rid of if it's not bacterial. You can have it as a chronic condition, so it's possible you may never really get rid of it. In the meantime, try this routine- apply a warm wet compress to the eyes, using a clean washcloth, for about 2-3 minutes. That will plump up the skin. Then dilute a non-tearing type baby shampoo, about 1 part shampoo to 10 parts of water, and use that with the washcloth to gently clean away the built up gunk from your eyes. It may take some gentle scrubbing to do it, and depending on how close it is to the eyelashes, you might have better luck in the tight spots with a cotton swab. Once this is done, rinse your face well. In some cases, the doctors will prescribe an antibiotic ointment specially made for eyes to put on before bedtime to help cut down on the matting and clumping bits. Depending on what the cause is, this little routine may be one you have to follow for a long time, if not the rest of your life. If you also suffer from dandruff, sometimes getting that under control will help matters with the eyelids as well. I don't think a dermatologist would be of much help to you- they get a little squirrelish when you start talking eyelids, and would probably just send you off to see a regular doc or opthamologist, after billing you of course. But a good general practitioner should be able to help you out to start with, and they are lots cheaper than specialists. In this case, a specialist probably isn't any better bet. Sorry not to have better news or ideas for you- you just don't suffer from something easy to fix unfortunately.What kind of Dr should I see for Blepharitis? A dermatologist or eye dr?
I had this problem once - I was allegic to my eyeliner. I suggest you throw away all your eye make up as it is probably infected and reinfecting you. Treat with prescribed creams until cleared up then buy new make up of a different brand.
Make up does get old and harbour germs after some months so you should replace it regularly, even if only half used.
I have had similar issues and an eye doctor (opthalmologist) was able to help me. That being said, I can tell you exactly what they told me.
Apparently the eyelid has a serious of channels for disposing wastes and oils, and in some unlucky people those channels become blocked or narrowed causing an infection.
It was recommended to put a warm compress on the area a couple times a day (doesn't always feel great) and very gently massage the trouble area. When washing your face, take special care to clean the edge of the eyelids with clean hands or a q-tip. Avoid eye makeup for the time being, and replace makeup frequently to ensure it is clean.

Do seeing a skin dermatologist really helps to solve sensitive skin problems?
I visited one but in the end doesn't helps, my acne problem just came back again, how can i really trust them again?Do seeing a skin dermatologist really helps to solve sensitive skin problems?
There is not a single magic bullet for acne. It can take 2 or 3 visits to find the right regime to control your acne without irritating your skin.
The best thing to do is to track your breakouts and give specific feedback about each of the medications your doctor prescribes. Also make sure the cleansing products, sunscreen, etc. you use aren't conflicting w/ your acne medications.
You can also do some research about the different prescription products available %26amp; see if any of them appeal to you more than others. Being well informed will help you prepare for the next visit %26amp; review the pros %26amp; cons of any treatmends recommended.

yes they do. maybe you discontinued the medications given to you? or maybe she didnt understand the cause of your acne breakout. but try to go to another one and this time go to one that has lots of patients then you can be sure he/she knows what she is doing and well known in her field...and tell her your previous history with a dermatologist that way she can try harder and explain what will happen while you are under medications .some medications actually sometimes makes you feel like you are having a bad breakout but actually the target was bring it all out then after that stage you will end up having a flawless skin.so ask your derma what will happen and ask her to explain the process that way you can also understand it. dont hesitate to ask questions.....goodluck
Talk to the dermatologist again. He/She may use a different procedure. Why don't you at least give it a second try? The you can make you decision then.
Had to see a dermatologist very recently for a skin condition. I feel good with his explanation and felt he knew what he was doing. Husband has been seeing same dermatologist for years and has been well treated. He sees him once a year to removes pre canserous skin spots.
Acne is usually something young people grown out of. Since you did say ';it came back again'; I see no reason not to trust.
See him/her again and see how it goes.
Look for a good derma. And always ask what the medicine is for or that ointment. Make sure that you know why the doctor is prescribing you those things.
Yes ,if u go to good and reliable dermatologist.cream blush
