In my opinion,Accurate really should be saved for moderate/severe acne. If you consider it mild and only have a few bad breakouts here and there, Id think hard about it.I was TOO quick to ask for accutane. I did 2 rounds. Once when I was 20 and then again around 23. Looking back now, I wish I would have tried other options first. During accutane, my acne got so much worse. When I finished it got better but came back. Same thing with second round. And my lips are permanently scaly after round 2. Im 26 now and still having that problem.Im a female so a lotof my acne is hormonal and going on and off of BC triggered it. Right now Im using a type of Retin A cream. They said give it 12 weeks but Im 4 weeks in right now and my skin is sooo much better.

You are right re accutane.

There is some evidence, that accutane can cause fungal acne, and hence make "acne" WORSE (as you found).

Fungal acne and gram negative bacterial acne are caused by taking antibiotics, birth control pills, prednisone and possibly accutane.

Most adult acne is caused by fungus (candida or malasezzia) or demodex mites (or gram negative bacteria). Most adult acne is NOT ordinary acne, and treatments for ordinary acne make it worse.

I do NOT understand why people who have adult acne do not FIRST try applying topical antifungal creams (and/or topical anti-mite creams) to see if that controls their acne BEFORE they take accutane.

Topical antifungal creams are TOTALLy safe - oral accutane is VERY dangerous.

People seem to be brainwashed by doctors to take the MOST DANGEROUS meds such as accutane and antibiotics BEFORE they use the LEAST dangerous topical treatments.

Weird...
