Do I Need to See a Dermatologist For Cystic Acne?
Yes, you should. Visiting a dermatologist is your best bet to safely resolve cystic acne. Not to mention, it can address the scarring that often comes with it. Luckily, our dermatologist can lend years of training and experience to your case for targeted treatment.
When you visit our Fullerton dermatology office, we can directly treat the cause of your cystic acne, as well as reduce the appearance of acne scars. Truthfully, even if you have mild acne, you can still benefit from targeted care from a board-certified dermatologist.

How Does a Board-Certified Dermatologist
Differ from a Regular Dermatologist?
If you're looking for a dermatologist, training matters. As a diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology, Dr. Baugh has invested directly in your care.
How? He obtained the organization-required education, which includes three years of a residency in dermatology accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our Fullerton dermatologist also needed to successfully take on a year of ABD-approved training. All of this experience culminated in an in-depth testing process, which he passed.
Still need more reasons to trust Dr. Baugh? He's also a Fellow of the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery (ADS), the American Society of Laser Medicine (ASLMS) and Surgery, and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
Fullerton Patients Appreciate Our Team
Every staff member I have ever dealt with has been so professional and wonderful. Have been going to this office for year and never had a bad experience.

Topical Treatment
Topical treatment includes the application of prescription gel, cream, or wipes that are formulated to reduce and prevent blemishes. These products typically contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide is best suited to traditional pimples that appear red and contain pus. Salicylic acid is a good option for patients that suffer from blackheads or whiteheads. Retinoids may also be used in topical treatments to clear clogged pores and reduce acne.
Oral Medication
This approach to treatment requires patients to take medication in pill form. There are different types of acne medications, including retinoid pills, antibiotics (only ideal for short-term use), and some types of birth control.
Emergency Treatment
Our dermatologist offers emergency acne treatment to address cysts and other blemishes that require immediate attention. Cortisone shots and light therapy are effective in shrinking the pimple and reducing swelling.
We Don't Just Treat Acne We Also Help with the After-Effects
Dark spots and scarring are common for many of our Fullerton acne patients. They can still find the smooth and even skin they desire — and that's thanks to our dermatologist. After treating your acne at the source, he offers a variety of procedures designed to refresh the texture and pigmentation of your skin.
For example, light therapy can be used to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. Existing blemishes or scars can be minimized with treatments to speed up exfoliation, such as chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, and microdermabrasion.
