Hello guys,
I have been battling acne for decades - my face is mostly clear from acne, but I have extremely oily skin and enlarged pores with lots blackheads - My current dermatologist is out of state and she has agreed to prescribe Accutane, or the genetic stuff, but she mentioned I have to go in person for a visit in order to be placed on that medication.
My issue is that the docs I have seen in my area will NOT prescribe the med - they are against the medicine altogether.
Does anyone here know a doc that works with Accutane in the Philadelphia, south jersey area?
Thanks very much for your help!
Accutane due to the serious side effects is typically only prescribed as a last resort for the most severe acne when all other treatment options have failed, which is why most derms will not prescribe it for mild acne. Lots of threads, posts, etc. on the various side effects members on here have reported, including male impotence even after discontinuing Accutane. The benefits should outweigh the risks, so consider very carefully if they do in your case.
