hockey_guy16 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 July 5th is my long awaited derm apointment!!! After waiting 4 - 6 months for this i am totally stoked. After trying pro activ, tetracycline over a year now, diet. I finally get my shot to get rid of acne forever ACCUTANE! I just want to show you guys what my acne looks like now its actually pretty good right now so im abit worried that the derm wont think its that bad and wont want to prescribe me tane. I am ashamed to say this im a guy and I wear make-up and it helps alot and honestly im actually a really good looking guy when you cant see my acne so like Im tired of having to do that I just want niceee skin that I dont have to worry about. I dont jknow what kind of acne I have but It doesnt really scar just leaves red marks that fade with time. But just let me know what you think if im worthy of tane and whatever other advice youd like to leave me with. Oh and I plan on being another Accutane Sucess Story. I willalso be making a daily blog with pictures. enjoy http://www.photoape.com/album/photo/index....amp;photoPage=1 http://www.photoape.com/album/photo/index....amp;photoPage=3 http://www.photoape.com/album/photo/index....amp;photoPage=4http://www.photoape.com/album/photo/index....amp;photoPage=5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pimpinpoodle 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 What kind of make up do you use ? lol Everytime I drink I steal someones and go hide and use it i think minerals work the best for just giving a normal skin tone without it being really obvious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hockey_guy16 0 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks for the help and ya I know im fucked up I wear make up lol and no actually over the years ive just become pretty good at applying it. And apparently the derm we have here isnt too old so she`s probably more pro-accutane. Im just really over having acne ive had it for like 6 years now, I want to graduate from highschool with clear skin go on to college with clear skin. And im also over taking this anti biotic that honestly doesnt do anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BetterNow 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 lol its the first time I see a guy admitting he's using makeup. good luck with the derm.I will also start accutane soon. I'm lucky because I got a doctor in my family and she's the one who told me I should use it even if my acne is really not that bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BdF34 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hey dudeto be honest i dont htink they will give you Accutane..my acne is a little worst than yours and the derm wouldnt perscribe it because there are just too many side effects for moderate acne. You need to have some pretty bad acne or a really chill doc. I recomend u using some type of topical medication! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BabsDancer 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I don't think it matters TOO much on how severe it looks. It's more about how severely it affects your life. My derm will prescribe accutane for people who even have mild acne! It just depends on how much the acne effects the individual. So if it's a real struggle in your life, then I think you are definitely a candidate for accutane. Your acne is pretty mild (at the time the pictures were taken) but the accutane will still do its job and clear you up! So I say go for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hockey_guy16 0 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I know, I realy want to take tane cause I know itll clear me right up! But the thing is I made this thread last night and my skin got better overnight and my apointment is tomorrow after eating greasy burgers,chocolate,milk I got better really weird so now im really scared I wont be able toget on it just because im at the point where i get like average skin for like 1 wweek then its just shit for the rest of the month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spmurph 0 Share Posted July 4, 2007 You could always tell them that you will just buy it from the internet if they won't prescribe it. I am sure they would rather have you taking it under their care than by yourself.BTW, who are those chicks in the pic??? Please tell me you were the one with the camera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hockey_guy16 0 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I just want clear skin, I want accutane cause I know itll give me clear skin and I doubt if she puts me on anything else that itll work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
