I am a 15 year old boy with very mild face acne, but decently bad back and chest acne. I made the decision to try accutane, not expecting the side effects to be quite so bad, but let me tell you, oh my god. Worst two months of my entire life. From day 1-20, not so bad. but around day 20, i felt my chin and thought to myself, "wow i feel stubbly, i should shave", which was odd because i shaved the night before. Low and behold, when i looked in the mirror my heart dropped. Entire face was peeled, lips were almost shredded looking. Weeks went on like this, using mouistrizer and chapstick but still did not help. My face was sooo irritated and hurt to touch, and eventually hurt too bad to apply moisturizer. Also, it has given me mild eczema. Great. I stopped taking these pills due to the such hard effects it was causing me. Overall, waste of two months. If you really feel the need to use this, do it with great caution and expect the side effects to be extremely harsh, including possible permanent eczema.
