Hi Second_Movement,
I have mild rosacea and am thinking of going on a very low dose accutane treatment. The accutane would be more for my seb derm, mild acne and mild blackheads, however. I do get flushing time to time, but it usually only occurs with stress, so I've been able to eliminate it 90%. Most of the Rosaceans I've come across on a google search had success with low dose accutane, but it seems you got some side effects.
Just wondering as it's been a few months now if there's been any change. Hope you are feeling better
Hi Sidra
Im glad you commented. Honestly I cant tell you it wont work and i cant tell you what to do BUT from my experience and knowledge id advise against it. You have to think about treating the problem at its roots, not at the leaves. Know what i mean?
Accutane works!... while youre on accutane. It does a great job of suppressing symptoms and covering up problems. My concern is that the side effects rapidly build the longer you are taking the drug and then there is the inevitable shock to your system when you come off it. Your body will reset back to its norm afterwards, although now you have all these chemicals and waste floating around inside of it causing skin issues to flood back twice as hard. So really in my opinion its a waste of time, destructive, and useless.
The amazing thing about accutane is that it taught me about how my skin could be cleared up internally. The realization that the ingredients in a pill could clear my acne was great. I stopped taking the pills and began experimenting with various diets. Detox, raw living natural food, sprouted seeds, wheat grass, green juices, green smoothies, and much more. And im still doing that today!
Since my last post in November i've kind of transformed my lifestyle to a more natural way of living and its done more for my skin than any drug or cream ever had. Actually i no longer use any drugs or creams or anything. I only use soap once every 3 days on my skin and its better than ever. Since November I have been eating a 95% raw food diet, consisting of leafy greens, fresh fruit and vegetables, and sprouted nuts and seeds. The changes are amazing.
So without going on and on and on about it ill simply say this. Skin is the largest organ of the body and its health reflects whats goin on inside. Clean the inside and shine on the outside (and not in an oily way hah).
If youd like more info on the raw food lifestyle just check out people like the "liferegenerator" on youtube or the channel "runningraw" or the website "we like it raw!". Get back to basics and take care of yourself. Youre worth it!
hope that helps
