I know Accutane works but I have not been able to bring myself to go on it. The side effects I read about sound so horrendous I dont know if I can handle it.
Success stories?
Yes I was on accutane for 5 months. Now i have been off of it for about 3 months and not a single zit. Most people never breakout again and even those who do, suffer a much milder form later on.
The side effects arent so bad for most people. Mainly dry skin, hair for aslong as you take it. My hair is normal again now, it was getting dry while i took the drug. Skin is back to normal too, no need for extra moisturizing. If your acne isn't getting better with topical creams and solutions, ask your derm about accutane. Side effects are NOT that bad, atleast not for me.
You will need to go on BCP though, because accutane carries a high risk of teratogenicity so it's not ssafe to concieve while you're on it.
