For most people, seeing a dermatologist is like seeing an ear, nose and throat doctor. If you have a problem, you need to go. Otherwise, you don’t need to go on a regular basis.
There are some people who should see a dermatologist on a regular basis. If you have severe acne, any sort of aquired or inherited skin disease or disorder (like XP, psoriasis or excema) or if you have skin cancer, you need to see a dermatologist regularly for monitoring and treatment.

If you suddenly begin to break out in red bumps on the face, upper chest, back, or elsewhere, and you have never before been diagnosed with acne, you should see your doctor. Some other conditions, such as rosacea and folliculitis, look very similar to acne.

Even if you have healthy skin, it is a good idea to see a dermatologist at least once in your lifetime to have yourself checked for skin cancers. Just like a baseline mammogram is a record of a woman’s healthy breast, a baseline check for skin cancers will tell you what’s normal for your skin.
