Acne Treatment for African-American skin

[Michelle]

How can I find a dermatologist that is experienced with African-American skin?  I have been to two dermatologist and both have been white and neither was particularly experienced with darker skin.  One doctor even had me go to a dermatology convention so that other doctors could look at me.  (At that time my problem was granuloma anularea).  I know that there are ethnic differences in skin and I would very much like to find a doctor, not necessarily a black doctor, that knows a little bit more about my skin and is not just trying to experiment.  I have used Triaz Cleanser for my acne, as well as Retin-A Micro.  The Triaz Cleanser didn't work at all.  The Retin-A worked but caused severe peeling and discoloration.  I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give me.

Hi, My daughter is twenty-three years and and a couple months ago, her face started to look like she had dicolorations around the lower left side of her face and is now spreading to her nose, and her neck. She went to a doctor to see what was happening. He told her skin disease was called vitilago. What is this? And how do you treat it.

For Anyone looking to remove marks left by pimples, the Edgar Morris products are great. I've also years ago used a product called Acne-Statin. It worked miracles for me.

I used pro active and it works. You guys out there should also try it.
