[Skin concerns] Is my dermatologist doing me dirty?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi fellow ScA redditors I've got a story for you today.​I just visited a dermatologist PA -- I actually made the appointment because I was having an eczema flareup on my face and needed an eval, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to also put in a couple other concerns in the notes section of my request.​(So this is what I put in my "What is your reason for visiting today?" section):Eczema flareup, fyi restarted my steroidal creamPores are huge, do you have any adviceSignificant amount of large scarring lately... do you think it's my new exfoliatorMy skin is so dry that it becomes double oily throughout the day and it sucks​AT NO POINT DID I MENTION HAVING ACNE, OR IT BEING A CONCERN. I'm aware that I have a good amount of acne, but it's fairly mild and treatable and more annoying during my period than anything.​What my derm PA prescribed me was:Clindamyacin 1%Retin-A 0.025%​The things is... both of these are acne medications, and both of them are drying (I have sensitive skin). Halfway through the appointment, I mentioned that I came in because of other concerns other than acne, and he said that the products would "probably help" with those.​TL;DR: Did my derm consider my skincare needs in his treatment plan, or did he just prescribe me what he prescribes everybody else with acne?
