In September 2011 I made my first appointment with Jana Parker, a dermatologist at the Riverton Hospital, Salt Lake City UT. She was recommended to me by my Aunt who is also going to her for small skin problems. I've always been unwilling to go the Dermatologist because of my episode with the Penicillin my freshman year in high school. The Penicillin was subscribed to be in an excessive amount and my body reacted harshly to it and ever since my immune system has not been the same. However my first appointment with Jana Parker, md was really fast and she asked the typical questions.
- How long have you had acne?
- Does it run in your family?
- What is your diet and exercise plans?
- What medications have you used and how did they affect you?
- What are things you want to change about your skin now and handle in the future?
She was very nice and professional. She suggested that I use a form of Isotretinoin because of what condition my skin was in and how effective it is. She informed me of all the major warnings and went over the IPLEDGE Program. She express the importance of using two forms of protection. We agreed that since I had the Marina that I should use Men's Latex condoms for my secondary form of protection as it was highly important to proctect myself if I was sexually active. She had informed me of the monthly blood labs and pregnancys test I would have to do. I seemed like I was set and anxitious to start the new treatment.
