How Do I Find a Doctor That Will Prescribe Accutane?

Question

I am 47 and have severly oily skin and very large pores. I have these very enlarged pores allover my face that I have to go in multiple times a year to get hot looped off my face. I am also noticing rosacea around my nose and on one side of my face. I have tried just about everything out there. These enlarged pores are getting more visable I would like to try a low dose of accutane but I am unsure how to find one. How do I find a doctor who is willing to work with me and give it a try

This a common problem many adult women face. Accutane is a great option, as long as you are under the care of a provider who has experience with accutane. The best way to find a dermatologist who prescribes accutane is to call local derms in your area. If you have a derm who is currently treating you and they do not prescribe this medication, you can ask he or she to refer you to someone in the area that does. Another great way is to use the Real self tools to find a physician in your area that prescribes Accutane.

I don't know where you live but there are a few choices here. 1. You can call local dermatologists and just ask if that doctor prescribes Accutane. 2. You can look on RealSelf's website under your local city and see if any of the doctors on there are listed under the Accutane section. Those would be my easiest recommendations.
