Komebackid510 0 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hey I feel you, I'm 21 myself and have been battling acne since about 17. I also have missed a lot and stayed home a lot. But, when you mean you tried everything does that include accutane? I just got prescribed accutane this week and am waiting for blood test results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zoilo 1 Share Posted November 16, 2006 ive been on it before bout 3 years ago How'd it work? No reason not to go on it again unless there's medical issues. The second time it could very well be a very long term or permanent cure because it will buy you time. At your age a few years can make a big difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

manda22 0 Share Posted November 17, 2006 they say it can cause liver and kidney problems thats why but im there again on the 2nd of december so see what happens Hi, you are in the Uk too like me. I am wanting to go on Roaccutane, but do you have to have your blood tested before they perscribe it?? I cant wait for weeks! I need it now !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beentheredonethat 6 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Kidney problems? New one on me. Liver problems are monitored for during your treatment. If it happens, they pull the med immediately before it can become serious.Moving this to the emotional effects of acne forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laura123 0 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have had acne since I was 12 and now I'm 22. Very mild until 14 then moderate until 17/18. Since then with me picking less bcame low moderate and now back to mild but not like the mild it started out as.It's sad that i can't now remember a time of going out without having to put make up on etc and not having to think about my skin. I wished I only started having acne at 17 because the internet would have been about!And I would have known how to treat my acne better rather than constant picking and far too many harsh OTC products!
