20 years I have been suffering with Adult Acne. 20 horrible, greasy, painful embarrassing years fighting to get somebody to listen to me and help me get my clear skin and confidence back. Enter stage left, Dr Tim Clayton! How I wish I had found him sooner. I decided to see Dr Clayton privately as I was desperate at this point; it was either use the sander to take my skin off, or find someone who could take the place of the sander. And he did just that and more. I received such care and understanding in the first 5 minutes of my appointment than I have from any GP or consultant I have seen about my skin in the last 20 years. He knew exactly how I was feeling and exactly what was wrong with my skin. He even drew me a diagram to explain why my skin was the way it was which helped me massively in accepting that this is a medical condition that could be treated. It gave me hope. He went through various options of medication and what they could do for me; having a say in my treatment was new for me, and I really appreciated having that choice. I chose Roaccutane, and Dr Clayton went through all of the side effects, the stages of recovery, what to expect etc in great detail so that there were no surprises. After treatment began, I kept in touch with Dr Clayton via follow-up appointments and via email (even lock-down didn't stop him from being a great doctor!). He was reassuring when I was having side effect issues and even prescribed a cream to help me through the worst of it, which worked wonders. I'm now about to come off Roaccutane after maintaining beautiful, clear skin. I am very nervous about how my skin will react once the medication is no longer in my system, but Dr Clayton has asked me to update him in a couple of months, and if I am struggling I will have no hesitation in asking for his help again. If, like me, you are struggling with your skin, just know that you don't have to struggle any longer. Dr Clayton will make it better for you. But make sure you don't take all the appointments up, because if I ever need him again, I want to be able to go back! Thanks Dr Clayton, you have given me my skin and my confidence back. Fingers crossed it stays :)
