How do I book a dermatologist?

Call the practice: ask whether they take new patients and your insurance, and how long the wait is. Many insurers need a referral from your primary care doctor first. For a quick opinion on a rash or spot, some dermatologists also answer photo consultations online.

When should I see a dermatologist rather than try products?

Book a visit for a mole or spot that changes, bleeds or looks unlike your others, a rash that spreads or hurts, acne that leaves scars or doesn't improve after three months of over-the-counter care, and any sudden hair or nail change. Products are for routine care, not for these.
