Abstract

This study focuses on the conventional acne treatment used by the doctors. This research mainly focuses on dermatologists’ language they use to manipulate their customers (patients) for monetary purposes. This study shows how patients of skin diseases, especially acne sufferers, are manipulated by dermatologists; what sort of medicines they prescribe intentionally for their hidden purposes; and why these doctors do not tell the root cause of acne formation and keep on giving medicines to the patients instead of fixing their actual problem. Fairclough 3D Model is used for critical discourse analysis.
