Hello. I am interested in dermatology field.
I have a skin problem. (lots of acne, keloid scar, and etc.) About 8yrs of agony. 80percent of my face was filled with acne!!!!
Is having perfect skin necessary to join the dermatology residency?

I want to cure acne so bad! I use proactiv to prevent the future acne but it wont cure!!! I have keloid scars on my face and back.
Also, I know it is competitve to get into derm residency. How comeptitive is it realisitically? Thanks for your response!
