A couple weeks ago I went to a well-known skincare clinic (which I won't name) to talk with a dermatologist about treatment options for folliculitis in my neck beard hairs which I've been dealing with for the past 4 months. To my shock, she recommended to (1) REMOVE all the hair on my neck, (2) use lasers to reduce the redness caused by the folliculitis (which is temporary), and (3) take oral antibiotics. I couldn't believe my ears! When I questioned the logic behind her approach, she got very defensive and dismissive. My assessment is that she is either very incompetent and arrogant, or she was acting irresponsibly and selfishly trying to scam me. I went to another dermotologist who actually listened to me and answered all my questions. He recommended an acne cleansing gel and nothing else. I used it twice a day in the shower for the past two weeks and now the folliculitis is completely gone. My question is, how is this skincare clinic allowed to operate??Aren't there any regulatory agencies for clinics like this one? Is it possible that my intuition is wrong and what she suggested is a sensible approach?? And lastly, what should I have said to her or what would you say to get her to think twice about what she's doing? I kept my mouth shut but many thoughts were stirring in my head...
