Well firstly, you are not even slightly ugly, acne or no acne. And secondly, it's not the sharpest image, but I think your acne is not as bad or noticeable as you probably think it is. Do not be asham...

Why would you blame yourself? It's not your fault, give yourself a break - remember, don't be your own worst enemy, be your own best friend. If it is PCOS there are medications to treat that, it's fai...

Don't be discouraged, Accutane is not the be all end all of acne treatments. There are loads of other things to try that can be very successful. There are also topical retinoids which will act in a si...

Just to be on the safe side don't take it, delaying a pill for a day at this early stage won't matter.

Other people have also reported tinnitus as a side effect. See what your doctor says.

No point worrying about something that hasn't and might not happen. Learn to consciously recognise when you have these negative thoughts and refuse to have them, concentrate instead on being positive ...

Yeah don't worry, it's fairly normal for things to get a bit worse before they start improving. But they will certainly improve... just keep stocked up on moisturizer!

My memory is a bit vague, but I think that's something I experienced as well.

Ah, good to hear you're underway with this now. I'll be sure to check back and watch your progress. It only gets better from here!

If you can't convince your parents to allow you to see a dermatologist, do you have a college counsellor you could talk to? Perhaps they could then approach your parents with a concern for you. Don't ...

Yes, you can live with acne but you don't, and shouldn't, have to. There are many effective treatments out there, so keep your head up and don't let it get you down. Remember, acne is not your fault a...

Go see your Doctor and ask for a prescription for Epiduo.

Good luck. Depending on what treatments you have tried before, don't be surprised your dermatologist offers you other things before resorting to accutane. But also remember that you don't have to acce...

You're obviously very worried, so I'd say stop taking it and ask politely for a second opinion from another Doctor.

At sixteen it could be down to hormonal changes, but yes, certainly stress and anxiety can be a trigger for pimples.

I'm male. I took a low-ish dose of Roaccutane for 6 months, which cleared my face 100% spotless. As I said, after about a month or so my acne started to return, but gradually, and not to the 'moderate...

I doubt there is a single person who wasn't a little worried when beginning these kind of treatments, so it's perfectly normal. [removed] About a month or so after my course ended my acne did return...

Expect dryness - particularly lips, eyes and nose. There is a possibility that your acne may get a bit worse before it gets better. Expect dryness. You may get some aches and pains. ...

As a complete guess I'd say you'd be looking at a few hundred minimum. We have an NHS for a reason - go see your Doctor.

My results from (Ro)Accutane were amazing but, yes, mine did start to come back about a month or so after the course had ended. However, it never returned to the level it was before, and it was pretty...
