what to do?How to talk my parents into taking me to the dermatologist?
Tell them you keep feeling uglier than everyone else because you have acne all over your face and you realy want to go to the dematologist. Also tell them that your acne hurts when you touch it and its getting anoying.





Once you are in the dermotolgists office tell the doctor about your sweating problems too.How to talk my parents into taking me to the dermatologist?
Tell your parents that you are concerned about the increased sweating. It could be that your acne is coming from the excessive sweatiness leaving oil on your skin. Tell them that you are concerned that with the amount of acne you have that you will have permanent scarring and that you want to prevent that from happening by going to the derm.
PRINT THIS AND GIVE IT TO THEM:





Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is a common disorder affecting many people. Palmar hyperhidrosis or sweaty palms is the most common form of hyperhidrosis, causing excessive sweating of the hands.





Hyperhidrosis can also cause excessive foot, underarm and facial sweating. It is thought that hyperhidrosis is a result of over activity of the sympathetic nervous system.





Sweating is often uncontrollable, embarrassing and not anticipated . Normal sweating is needed for thermal regulation however in people suffering from hyperhidrosis, sweating exceeds the bodys need for physiological thermal regulation.





Hyperhidrosis is an inherited problem that has been seen in almost every ethnic group. People don鈥檛 get used to living with hyperhidrosis but they continue to suffer throughout their lives from it.





Hyperhidrosis can have severe physiological consequences such as cold and clammy hands, dehydration, and skin infections secondary to maceration of the skin. Hyperhidrosis can also have devastating emotional effects on one鈥檚 individual life.





Affected people are constantly aware of their condition and try to modify their lifestyle to accommodate this problem. This can be disabling in professional, academic and social life, causing daily embarrassments. Many routine tasks become impossible chores, which can psychologically drain these individuals on a constant basis.





Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition with severe negative psychological consequences. Unfortunately friends, relatives of affected individuals and even most doctors usually do not understand the tremendous negative impact that this condition can have on one's life.





Fortunately with the recent advances in medicine, many forms of treatment are available to treat hyperhidrosis. Medications, topical antiperspirants, iontophoresis, botox and surgery have been tried to treat hyperhidrosis. Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy or ETS is the most effective method to treat hyperhidrosis. The California Institute for Hyperhidrosis and Facial Blushing provides a comprehensive site about hyperhidrosis and the ETS procedure.












If you have decent health insurance it will only be $15 for the office visit. Often times the dermatologist will give you free sample medicines/creams and write you a prescription. It will be about $10-15 for each prescription.
just ask your Mom and Dad to remember when they were young and growing up and didn't want there face or body to break out,you may need an antibiotic and a cream to help give you a jump start of getting rid of it.
it's genetic. it could be due to many factors, such inlude too much fat under skin, skin pour are big, or u eat too much salt. these are may be some problems related to sweating. but if u sweat while just standing then see a doctor.





luk
Well in my family it was geneitic and I just came out and said mom or dad to a dermotolgist My proactiv isnt working and she will understand if she or he got acne. If they didn't get acne ask them anyways its not a big deal trust me
just tell them that you are concerned about your health and that they should be too.


and then bring up your ';amazing healthcare plan'; and remind them that it won't cost much (or even any money) out of pocket...


hope this helps.
tell them if you really want to take this big step by actually going to a doctor, you really need/want it, and these problems are seriously bothering you.
Call and make your own appointment and tell them when it is. Have your list of facts if they question you about it.
