My Classic Dermatology Clinic in Gwangju, an impolite consultation experience

I went to get a prescription for medication or an anti-inflammatory injection before my trip because I occasionally get painful, puffy breakouts. However, the experience was truly disappointing. I mentioned that I am currently taking OB/GYN medication, but I cannot understand the doctor’s sarcastic smirk. I know doctors only need to provide good diagnoses, prescriptions, and treatments, so they don't necessarily need to be overly friendly, but I feel there should be some basic courtesy between people. I went on a weekday morning, and while I waited about 30 minutes for a consultation, prescription, and payment, it took less than two minutes to leave. I wonder if they even looked at the areas with breakouts. When I was diagnosed at a different dermatology clinic before, they told me I had a sebum-free skin type... yet this doctor said sebum was the problem and prescribed a sebum-controlling medication. Of course, I suppose it is a necessary medication. But their final remark that I would need to get expensive treatments just made me laugh. I have been taking the prescribed medication for a week now... but it has had absolutely no effect, and in fact, breakouts have flared up in other places. Even if I were to receive treatments, I do not think I would ever go back to this clinic.
