Derp: I hate people like that. I had a relative come into town a couple months ago and tell me "oh wow your acne is bad, did you realize that?"......like what i didnt know that? people can be so self-...

Yeah I kinda take that an initial breakout is just like any side effect of accutane...like joint pain some people will get it while some don't.. And people will expierence it to different degrees &nbs...

Ham: good to hear from you..I was wondering if you were still with us   I like that proposed group name **accutane class of 2015**   I know exactly where your coming from as far as baked g...

Hey Mark, good to meet you yeah red-face unfortunately is a common side effect of the drug. I seem to get it every now and then. whatever you do make sure you do not go out in the sun for a long per...
