Guest ThereIsHope Posted October 13, 2006 or does it seem like GENERALLY guys' accutane IBs are much worse than female's IBs?? I've just been reading around the logs and stuff alot and it seems like aaalllll the guys go through a horrible IB, but not so much for the girls. Does anyone think there is any connection with this? Also, why do some people go through an IB and some don't?? It seems weird that those who don't get any IB have nothing in their skin for the accutane to "push" up....seems like something would happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikee 0 Posted October 13, 2006 iuno. maybe. guys usually get worse acne then females though, its a fact. my entire initial breakout (not just the few first ones) was horrible. made my skin 544987273 times worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifesux 0 Posted October 13, 2006 I guess most guys have worse IBs then most girls, but at the same time.. guys have a higher rate of being 'cured' from accutane then girls do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rose_1 0 Posted October 14, 2006 I think its because girls take an contraceptive pill at the same time along wif tane which controlls the breakouts etc thats the reason y my derm prescribed the pill 4 me...just to help with the flare up n stuff....most people just take the pill on its own 2 cure acne so wen ur using it with tane it should do the job better and keep it under controll (even though thats not always the case) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lifesux 0 Posted October 14, 2006 I don't know. Birth Control doesn't help my acne at all, but i still didn't get an IB on tane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
