If I have insurance and it includes coverage for a dermatologist is it cheaper to go to a dermatologist to solve my acne problems or buy over the counter products?

I have old deep acne scars. My face is very pitted. I have had microdermabrasion many times, but it has only improved slightly and the scars are vey noticeable. What is the best treatment to smotth them down and make them less noticeable?

I’ve been struggling with acne for a while. Not major break outs, but some on my face, and it bothers me. Right now, I’m currently using Neutrogena Power Foam Wash. It works, but not all of it’s gone. What works best for you?

I’ve wanted to try proactive, but I heard if you miss using it, your acne returns, worse then before. & it also gets expensive.
Any information on how proactive worked for you?

I am seventeen and have had acne four 5 years now. I have an allergy to the best acne medicine out there–Benzoyl Peroxide. I’ve tried everything out there…the pills perscribed by my derm, topical gels, birth control (Yasmin). I am next looking into having dermabrasion but am afraid that my skin won’t be able to handle it. I am looking for further information about the procedure and also on microdermabrasion and would also like to hear from those who’ve had it done. Also, what other options do I have, if any?
