Most derms wont give you accutane the first time without trying something else. They will likely either give you anti-biotics or topicals and say "try them a few months and if they dont work, come ba...

Id seriously re-think that option. I know that a few pimples can seem like the end of the world but there are much worse things. I took accutane for one month and it was completely bad, I ended up sui...

This really pisses me off, youre right, most doctors completely downplay the potential side effects of any given drug. When I was prescribed accutane my derm vaguely and dismissively said how accutane...

hey nutrition buffs, I read something about silica being an important part of healthy hair-skin-nails. Also biotin...I am unfortunately lacking in some nutritive aspect. My hair is weak and my nails a...

hi there,I wanted to chime in and say good luck and keep on going. I used a form of this regimen which worked well for years for me. It only took about two weeks and I saw really good results. As for ...

hi, its me again. lol. I can tell you that for most people the oiliness does eventually come back even my derm said so. I took it for only a month and it took another month before my skin/hair got oil...

Accutane is toxic. Im sure there is a very technical reason as to why it causes stunted growth but the simplest explaination is, its toxic to the body. Look what it does to a fetus...

isnt there something called "ketosis"? Where your body burns the fat instead of carbs...is it healthy to be in that state of ketosis or whatever its called...(help me out here someone?) Glad your sk...

hi--the answr may be yes. Judging by your age and description, the acne sounds hormonal. Most acne is but it can get worse now and then...there is a pill called spironolactone which helps with hormona...

OK here is one thing you may not have considered : for most people, Accutane is not a cure it only puts acne into remission for anywhere from 6 months to a few years. Is having clear skin for a short...

I dont think you were talking to me, but I like the taste of vegetable juice, I dont have to add any fruits to mine. I have used any combo of carrots celery beets romaine parsley cucumber dandelion le...

Glad your skin is clearing, however, Id be careful about severely restricting carbs, I did that a while ago and it eventually made me weak and tired. Our bodies need carbs just not the junky kind like...

just make sure you stop if you feel something is not right. I ignored my symptoms, which was a bad idea. Thanks for the replies and Im sorry to hear you had such bad experiences! I spoke to my derm...

looks really good I just read an article on here about a girl using coconut oil (raw unrefined) to help her pigment spots fade quicker. Id try it on a small area first to make see how you react but ...

sea salt is actually a very good idea, it cant hurt and can have a lot of other benefits. thanks for reminding us, I think most of us have known about this but forgotten.

thats horrible! I have a friend who also has acne and has a really cute boyfriend...people have actually said things to her face about how shes not up to his 'level" . Level of what, algebra?. god som...

I totally understand I have been there. I had cystic acne and felt ugly and pathetic...but a )accutane is not a cure-- most people's acne comes back within 6 months to 3 years. How would you feel afte...

I like the sound of this! I just strted cooking with coconut oil spray...if I do this and start eating it I will make sure to get the proper kind. Thanks for the idea.

you can probably buy it from the company or on amazon. Believe me I wouldnt generally pay that much for make up but its truly the only one which causes no breakoust for me. and it claims to heal skin ...

I dont want to "fit in" if fitting in means mimicking popular culture, bying into materialism and shallowness, and accepting the violent world we live in. The world isnt a nice place in fact it can be...
