My skin and I have had a love-hate relationship. I didn't struggle with breakouts during high school like many. My skin issues came off and on during college. Call it stress...call it eating poorly...whatever it may be....it was not good. I went to several dermatologists back home in Alabama and took it all: Differin, Retin-A, Duac gel...they would work great for any given amount of time, but then I think my skin got used to the medications and I'd have issues again.
As of late, my skin was doing great! No real complaints, except for the occasional issues all women experience. My current prescriptions had run out and it was time to see the dermatologist again. I decided to try one ITP (inside the perimeter) that was close by my work and home. I checked my insurance and saw that Dermatology Associates of Atlanta fell under my policy -- great news! They were also located at Perimeter Medical area -- more great news! I made an appointment.
Having no clue that Dr. Kraus mixed his own compounds, I was a little hesitant when the nurse informed me of that before he came in to see me. He checked my skin, asked me lots of questions, looked over what I have taken in the past, how I reacted to it, etc. He then sent his own "concoction" formula down to the pharmacy on-site to be mixed.
A simple wash & moisturizer 2x per day is all it was. He told me to put everything else I had put on my face aside while using this. I did just that.
I am in love with my skin right now. It has never been this clear. Ever. There are days I don't wear a pinch of makeup to work! To work, y'all! Just a little mascara is all.
Needless to say, I am a huge fan of Dr. Kraus at Dermatology Associates of Atlanta. I have had so many blog/twitter friends in Atlanta make appointments with him, too!
I call him, "The Miracle Skin Doctor"...
