What concerns you
Describe what exactly you notice and for how long. It helps to recall when things get better or worse: in different seasons, after changing your skincare, during stressful periods.
What you have already tried
The doctor needs to know about your past experience: which products you used, what was prescribed before and how your skin reacted.
- The everyday skincare products you use now.
- Medicines prescribed earlier and how long you used them.
- What, in your experience, helped and what did not.
What you expect from the consultation
Some people want to understand the cause, some want a plan, and some simply want to be sure everything is fine. Say so at the start: the conversation will go in the right direction straight away.
Next steps
Before the appointment ends, ask what to do next, when to expect changes and when it makes sense to come back.
No question is unimportant if it matters to you.
