Doctor-patient Confidentality Posted: 07-01-04 17:16pm


I am 20 years old and I have a minor problem with my skin (acne bumps) that appear constantly on my arms, upper chest area, and back. If my dermatologist is made aware that my drug of choice is speed, are they going to notify either my parents or proper authorities? Although, I was getting the acne bumps before I was ever introduced to speed. Should I wait until my dermatologist asks me if I am doing any narcotics?
