Dr. Paul D. Revis, MD

Acne is a problem that occurs in the "pilosebaceous units," which is the hair follicles and the oil gland that accompanies them. It begins when the skin cells covering the hair follicles' opening are clogged by a mixture of skin cells and sebum, which is the oil produced by the sebaceous glands. Clogging occurs because the sebum is trapped in the hair follicle beneath the skin, causing inflammation and infection. It results in acne development that can be seen as pimples and pustules on the skin. If the inflamed lesion is not treated, it will eventually lead to scarring of the skin. Some dermatologists specialize in acne cases because it is one of the most common conditions that they treat. The severity of acne varies, from mild to moderate lesions common in adolescence to more severe acne in adulthood.

Dr. Revis has overwhelmingly positive feedback from his patients. Many analyzed their experiences in length, for example, one patient has been seeing the doctor for dermatological problems for two decades. She described him as professional, knowledgeable and very confident in his treatment plans. She was also very happy with the staff’s positivity mentioning that they accommodate her issues very quickly. Some said the doctor's sincere bedside manner was another benefit; he did not hurry them; instead, he listened to their questions and answered them fully. Many noted that this was preferable, as it led to long waiting times. Others found that they were knowledgeable about identifying health problems and quickly solving them and that someone had sought treatment for twenty years, but only this doctor understood the issue in two visits. Another big theme was the positivity that many of the respondents passed on to future patients.; they said that the doctor is excellent. Many concluded their remarks recommending the medic to others, such as the person who had lived with an undiagnosed condition for such a long time. Some used phrases like "7 Stars'' and "Awesomeness'' and ''The best dermatologist in Rockford,'' to show how much they value the doctor. However, one patient noted that the treatment was exceptional, but the attention to details is not standard as the visit with Dr. Revis was very pleasant. He prescribed a drug which cleared up an issue I had for over 9 month. Staff super professional and courteous. Highly recommend.
