I have a long-standing pimple on my face, who should I consult?

77-year-old woman2 years ago

A pimple in my forehead that has never healed since September 2019. Tried several treatments with my pharmacist. Nothing works Would it be appropriate to meet with a dermatologist? Thank you for helping me, a little discouraged.

Hello, sorry to read about your troubles!

It would be better and faster for you to consult a family doctor first, they can assess the situation and prescribe a treatment in a good proportion of cases. If necessary, he/she will refer you to a specialist.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
